Mumbai: The Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) in adjoining Thane district is yet to receive funds from the Rs 6,500 crore package announced by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis last year, an RTI query has revealed.

“KDMC Account Officer and Public Information officer Vinay Kulkarni in his reply to my RTI query, said no such funds have been received till date from the Government,” RTI activist Anil Galgali said.

In October 2015, Fadnavis had announced a Rs 6,500 crore package for the all round development of Kalyan and Dombivli townships, during a campaign rally, ahead of the KDMC civic poll.

Galgali said he also filed an RTI query with the Chief Minister’s office (CMO), which forwarded the RTI application to the Urban Development Department and it in turn forwarded it to the MMRDA. A reply is yet to be received, he added.
