The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has decided to impose a cluster scheme in 41 selected locations where old and dangerous buildings will be redeveloped.
The KDMC has called a tender worth INR 10 crore to impose the scheme in the coming years. Officials stated that at least three companies have responded to it and one of them will be given the work for the survey on Monday, May 29.
Soon, KDMC will carry out the survey in Kolsewadi in Kalyan East, Ayre village in Thakurli, Kala Talao in Kalyan West and Sonarpada in Dombivli, etc.
The civic body appointed an advisor to select the locations where the cluster scheme can be imposed. The advisor came up with 41 suitable locations. However, since the biometric survey got delayed, the planning of the cluster scheme also got delayed, added the officials.
With the push to the cluster scheme in Kalyan-Dombivli, the long pending matter of a U-type road from Katemanivali to Siddharth nagar in Kalyan (East) will also be addressed, said the KDMC commissioner Bhausaheb Dandge.
This is a long pending project which KDMC could not take up as people opposed it. Now, under the cluster scheme, the people affected in the project will get relief. Hence, the project will commence soon and will be completed in three years, he added.
The cluster scheme will also look after those citizens, who will be affected by development works, like road widening in the city, etc. As per residents of the area, at least 1,400 people will be affected by the widening of the 2.1-kilometre-long U-type road in Kalyan (East).
In 2014, the need for cluster development in Kalyan-Dombivli was highlighted after a building collapsed in Thakurli, where nine people died. However, the state government approved the scheme in 2021.
