Consumer forum for constructing drainage by Gram Panchayat. Consumer forum for constructing drainage by Gram Panchayat.

2 years ago

I made repeated requests to concerned officials of gram Panchayat of my village for constructing drainage along cement road. They constructed cement road but left the drainage work. Because of no drainage,we don't have any other option to let out waste water from the house. Also we are facing the mosquito issue due to stagnant water. Can we solve this issue through district consumer forum ? Can the citizen i.e myself be considered as consumer as per the case ?
Kindly have a look at this case "koduru enclave owners welfare association vs Vijayawada muncipal corporation".

Thankyou sir.

A.Dear Client
Usually the consumer forum does not entertain such kinds of cases stating that the government authorities are not covered under the consumer forum jurisdiction but thanks to the case of koduru enclave owners welfare association vs Vijayawada muncipal corporation that consumer forum has brought in these civic bodied under its purview.
