Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) officials to hurry up and start the new dumping grounds near Barave and Umbarde by October, or their salaries will be stopped for the delay.

Fadnavis on Monday held a meeting to solve long-pending issues related to the Aadharwadi dumping ground in Kalyan. An official who attended it said, "The CM has warned that the salary of KDMC officials will be stopped if this project is not completed by the deadline." Fadnavis also instructed KDMC commissioner Govind Bodke and other department officials to close down the Aadharwadi dumping ground within the next two months.
