KDMC Blacklists Road Contractor Over Poor Pothole Repairs
The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation hired a company to repair roads in F Ward, Dombivli.

It also said the company did not fix the problems even after being told to improve its work.
This happened during the monsoon and around Ganeshotsav, when many people use the roads.
The corporation took the company’s road-maintenance work away.
It also said the company cannot take part in civic works for one year.
A notice about the decision was issued on October 1, 2026.
