Complaint / Requirement |
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a serious issue concerning unauthorized and hazardous construction being carried out by my adjacent neighbor, in clear and deliberate violation of the sanctioned BBMP building plan. Despite submitting complaints on three occasions to the local jurisdictional office, no inspection or remedial action has been taken so far. The construction continues unchecked, and the situation is deteriorating rapidly.
I wish to highlight the following grave violations and concerns:
-
Violation of Sanctioned Plan: The ongoing construction deviates significantly from the BBMP-approved building plan, constituting a blatant violation of civic norms and regulations.
-
Damage to Our Property: The foundation of our house has been encroached upon by nearly half a foot, causing visible structural damage to our property.
-
Encroachment onto BBMP Land: The first-floor balcony extends approximately 4 feet into BBMP land, obstructing our home’s natural light and ventilation.
-
Privacy Violation: The design of the balcony allows direct visibility into our bathroom ventilation area, severely compromising our privacy and creating potential safety risks.
-
Illegal Staircase Construction: The staircase landing has been constructed over the encroached balcony, further compounding the illegality, as the balcony itself occupies BBMP land.
-
Substandard Wall Construction: A wall facing our property has been built using bricks only 2–3 inches thick, far below the prescribed minimum of 8–12 inches. This poses a serious structural and safety hazard, especially during any routine maintenance or construction work on our side.
-
Misuse of Our Property: Our wall was partially damaged to construct a showcase by the neighbor.
-
Obstruction Over Utility Lines: Bricks have been laid to construct a compound wall directly over underground water and electrical lines on the eastern side, which are situated on BBMP land. This threatens access to essential services and may cause long-term disruptions.
In light of the above, we respectfully request your esteemed office to:
-
Immediately dispatch a BBMP inspection team to the site to assess the ongoing violations.
-
Order a halt to all unauthorized construction activities with immediate effect.
-
Initiate strict legal action against the concerned builder/owner for repeated and willful violation of BBMP regulations.
-
Ensure removal of encroachments from public land and restore it to its rightful condition.
-
Safeguard our property from further structural damage and address the privacy and safety concerns raised.
This matter requires your urgent intervention. Continued inaction may set a dangerous precedent and endanger the rights and safety of law-abiding residents.
Thanking you in anticipation of swift and appropriate action.
Yours sincerely,
V Selvan |
