In a significant move to tackle illegal construction, the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) demolished the plinths of 167 unauthorised buildings in the Baneli area of Titwala. This action was carried out amid heavy security and faced opposition from local residents.

The civic body demolished not only the plinths of the 167 structures, which were in the early stages of construction, but also three fully completed illegal rooms. This action comes after KDMC faced criticism over the recent discovery of 65 illegal buildings where builders had used forged documents to obtain RERA certificates and sold flats to unsuspecting buyers.

Following this issue, KDMC has ramped up its efforts to address illegal constructions in the area, particularly in Titwala, where hundreds of unauthorised rooms have been dismantled before they could be fully constructed.

The demolition underscores KDMC's continued commitment to curbing illegal building activities and ensuring adherence to construction regulations.
