Use a GPS camera app so the exact location, date, and time are embedded in the file. 🧾 Step 2: Get an Official Repair Estimate/Bill Take the vehicle to an authorized service center or mechanic. Secure a formal, detailed bill or repair estimate outlining the costs directly caused by the road defect. ✍️ Step 3: File a Formal Complaint Log on to the portal of your local Municipal Corporation (e.g., BMC, MCD) or the Public Works Department (PWD). File an official grievance attaching your geo-tagged proofs and repair bills. 📩 Step 4: Keep the Acknowledgement Always save the complaint receipt, reference number, or acknowledgement screenshot. This is your legal paper trail. 💡 Pro-Tip for Escalation If the local body ignores your grievance, you can escalate the matter to the Consumer Forum or file a Legal Notice via a lawyer for deficiency of service. Indian courts have repeatedly held that good roads are a citizen's fundamental right!
