KDMC Blacklists Road Contractor Over Poor Pothole Repairs
The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation hired a company to repair roads in F Ward, Dombivli.
The corporation said the repairs were not done properly in several places.
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.
Residents welcomed the action and said contractors should be responsible for their work.
The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation withdrew Bharat Udyog Ltd’s road-maintenance work in Dombivli’s F Ward.
The civic body barred the contractor from civic works for one year, citing repeated lapses and poor-quality repairs.
KDMC said the contractor failed to meet required standards despite repeated instructions.
The action was formally communicated in a notice issued on October 1, 2026, by City Engineer Anita Pardeshi.
Residents welcomed the decision and said accountability could discourage negligence in future civic works.
