Sir,
we are inahbitants of delhi and every year during rainy season our colony lanes get choked with water as result rain water entered into our houses and basement.I filed the complaint to Munciapl deputy commissioner for action but no relief then I filed the RTI seeking infomation about the fucntioning of draingae system..they gave vagur reply and put balme on Jal board and other department and same version was there from other departments and causlaly stated that the clogged water will evcauted 30-60 minutes after rain and there is no drainage pipe line connected to our locality for drainage of rain water.The fact was the builder mafia and other illegal constuctors have removed the water drainage pipe line
Thsi time during the rainy season and for just 2 hous rain the streets were merged with 4-5 feet water and water completely entered to all of the locaity and basemnts causing damage to our furniture and other house hold items
I have collectd snaps and made videos for that havoc..Please inform what would be the best option whether we should file civil suit for permanent injuction against the authorites or file the writ petition against the jal board and muncipal coprpoation for not providing the apporparite relief freom thsi regular disaster??

The problems are inherent because of the unplanned constructions. No public authority has any magic wand against the Nature's fury. Given the situation of your building, you may insure your furniture etc.

Wit petition is always advisable if the opposite party is 'state'.
Civil suit would drag for years without any visible result.

Writ petition need be filed, agree with the experts.

This is a persistent problem through the length and breadth of the country. As rightly observed by expert Mr. Venu,the public authorities do not have magic wand to challenge and bring relief every time when there is a natural calamity. This issue may be brought to light through press or TV media by interviewing the inhabitants who are made to suffer due to the authorities lethargy during the time of crisis and ineffective official machinery which failed to protect the damages to the human life and their belongings on such occasions. After such efforts, if there is no response from the government side, you may opt for writ petitions as suggested by other experts.

I go with the advice of expert Shri Kaliselvan. Mobilize media people before monsoon, show them your conditions during rain. They will give wide publicity. The Government machinery may move to solve the problem.
