There have been several complaints raised against erring restaurants in a building that do not have separate drainage lines, use water from the building water storage tank. So the building residents have no water to use, similarly the main drainage line gets choked frequently causing great nuisance to the residents. Similarly, some of the restaurant operators have encroached within the free space available in front of their shops.
The municipal authorities do not bother to reply to the letters, nor do they initiate any action against the restaurant operators. They have also ignored RTI applications most of the times ducking the information sought.
When asked to Police, they conveniently say it is Municipal Corporation's job, not theirs.
Can one insist on filing an FIR with the police? If one has to do this, what can be the grounds, for example IPC clauses? Kindly advise. Please also advise do's and don't's for such cases.
Thank you in advance.
