It is left to you to either follow for Rs.2,000/- through filing complaint before District Consumer Forum to spend ten times more amount of money, time and peace of mind for recovery of petty amount, subjecting your mother for more inconvenience at her age.
Treat it as lost money and forget about such loss to have peaceful time.
Contact District Consumer Forum and file a complaint against the Contractor for deficienc of service and argue in person with less than Rs.500/- in total expenditure and attend adjournments and you may get justice after one year.

Given the small amount of money involved, this may not be an action worth pursuing. You have option to appraoch the adalats conducted by the local Legal Services Authority.
