We’re residents of Shiv Nagar, Jammu, and facing a tough situation. Illegal construction behind our home continues despite our complaint to the Municipality. They’ve taken a bribe, and the drilling is damaging our wall. We’ve called the office repeatedly, but no action is taken. What should we do to stop this illegal construction?

You should file a formal complaint with the Jammu Municipal Corporation, detailing the illegal construction and the bribe taken by officials. You can also lodge a complaint with the Jammu and Kashmir State Vigilance Organisation, outlining the corruption and the damage to your property. Consider seeking legal advice to pursue a restraining order against the illegal construction.
