Refer to the Bye-Laws of the Society, MCS Act & Rules, which do not allow any encroachment in common area.
Managing Committee of the Society has to stop such activity.
Consult a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts, guidance and proceeding.

Dear Sir,
Apart from lodging complaints with different authorities try for filing a civil case seeking interim relief of temporary injunction against the said persons.
