Yes, Kalayan - Dombivli was in a mess and no one could change this city unless he gets the support of the concerned citizens. This is E Ravindran needs to change this city into a world class one. The citizens has stood behind their commissioner until now and we need to for changing the life of the people of the city.
The story is not that easy. For the third time in a year, a new commissioner is appointed in the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) in 2015 until E Ravindran, an IAS officer who earlier was the collector of the Sindhudurg district took charge . He has replaced, Madhukar Ardhad, who has been in the post since January.Jul 24, 2015.
Due to political pressure, none of the Commissioners have received an opportunity to become stable or understand the responsibilities and work accordingly. This has been a huge setback in the functioning of the KDMC. Not only has the commissioner been replaced thrice in one year, but also in the last five years, this is the fifth commissioner for KDMC. Residents as well as officials are upset over this frequent change that is being taken place. No wonder that Kalyan-Dombivli became the worst among the cities in India selected to make smart cities.
An official from the KDMC said, "This recurrent change will have a huge impact on the development work of the KDMC. The roads are in a bad state, the newly adopted 27 villages are not getting their proper services, dumping ground issue has not been resolved yet and there are various decisions to be taken regarding the BSUP. All this is possible only if a commissioner gets to settle down and undersatnd the functioning of the corporation."
Ravindran, assured the people on his assumption to the coveted position said , "I assure the residents that we will use the public money for the betterment of the public. Also, we shall focus on the development of the corporation and residents." He has remained true to his words till today and if he gets our support, he has proved that he can bring wonders into the city.
It is after a gap of 13 years that the KDMC is getting an IAS officer. Also, a resident, Rajan Mukkadam had appealed for this. He had been asking for an IAS officer to be posted as KDMC commissioner and had also conducted protests. So, when Ravindran took charge on Thursday, Mukkadam was seen running around the KDMC precincts, celebrating his joy by distributing sugar to everyone.
SUPPORT E. RAVINDRAN for a World class city!!
Dear Sirs, I am resident of Kalyan West. It is bring to your kind notice, since long time, Taxies & autorickshaws are charging exhorbitantly without any measurements, even though meters are well installed in every vehicles, it does not service the purpose. Even the residents of Kalyan Dombivali muncipal area people are suffering from that, as regards, if you are new comer to this area, you will be looted severely. please look into the matter and make the charges according to meter reading except share-rickshaws/taxies. In the case of share taxies/ rickshaws, put the name please on where it is going or shuttling up and down, this will make very convenient for all the public.
