What the Bombay High Court asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on February 29, on not passing files of new constructions, the same query was directed towards Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) in April last year. And finally, the stay was lifted on Monday. It took more than a year for KDMC to come up with a feasible solution or plan to convince the court.

Because of this, a small corporation like KDMC suffered a loss of nearly Rs 70 crore and it took them almost a year to get a new dumping ground after several failed attempts. Almost a year later, the Municipal Corporation of Kalyan and Dombivli is hopeful now that it will get revenue back, after the court took a lenient approach and allowed them to pass building proposals.
