Dombivli Birth-Death Office Still Lacks Essential Facilities
The office that keeps birth and death records moved to a new place in Dombivli in September 2025.
People who work there say they still do not have cupboards or shelves for important papers.
Some files are kept on the floor or on tables.
The office also does not have the water connection needed for its drinking-water purifier.
Workers bring water from home or buy it, and visitors face the same problem.
The office moved after pieces of ceiling plaster fell at its old location.
KDMC says it has approved storage facilities and will take further steps soon.
The KDMC Birth and Death Registration Office moved to Virat Mansion in Dombivli East in September 2025.
A year later, employees say official files remain on floors and tables because cupboards and racks have not been provided.
The office lacks a separate water connection needed to operate its RO purifier, leaving staff and visitors without drinking water there.
The office was relocated after ceiling plaster reportedly fell twice at its previous premises, raising safety concerns.
KDMC says the Municipal Commissioner has approved document storage facilities and that a tender will be issued after further processing.
