I have build a dwelling house and still living . Very recent another person (very influenced ) has made a 8000 s.ft go-down without any drain. It is just beside my house. As a result, we compel to live with stage water during the month of August to October. I applied to Gram panchayet, B.L.R.O. etc. for the time of said construction.Unfortunately not yet taken any steps either any office or local public. I am helpless now. Have any remedy now partner?
