"Start door-to-door vaccination in Kalyan-Dombivli," said Kunal Dinkar Patil, an independent corporator from Dombivli (East). However, KDMC claims they have already started mobile vaccination drive to reach the masses with densely populated area.
On July 6, 2021, Patil had written a letter to Vijay Suryavanshi, the municipal commissioner of Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation to speed up the vaccination in small pockets and villagers so that it reaches the masses.

The chances for third wave can't be neglected in the near future. "In such situation vaccination of every citizens is important and should be completed to keep them safe from the coming wave," added Patil.
