You can pursue your complaint accordingly with the GHMC or you can file a suit for injunction to restrain them from obstructing your air passage by blocking through their construction.

Have they obtained permit for construction. Without the permit from the Municipal Corporation, legality of the construction being carried out could be challenged in a civil action seeking mandatory injunction.

Collect evidence of the violation. This could include photos, videos, or any documentation that clearly shows the setback violation.
Reach out to the GHMC's building permission or town planning department. You can file a complaint through their online portal, by visiting their office, or by calling their helpline
The GHMC has the authority to investigate and take action against violations of building regulations, including setback violations.
If the GHMC doesn't take appropriate action, you may explore legal options such as filing a writ petition in the High Court.
