Also, building construction activity has permission till 10 pm by BMC is a building construction happening next to my bldg and I have myself ( a woman ) gone there and got it stopped at 11.30 and on one occasion when they did not I call 100 and they came and halted it,” A user reacted adding that“Not a woman and yet no courage to call the cops ?” in another post.“Calling 100 Doesn't work. I called them once at 1 am in the night to stop some construction work outside my building. No one came!! I tweeted as well. Didn't work. We shouldn't have a problem if someone is using the power of social media to get their issues addressed,“ another user reacted user added,“So what's the problem? Have you not ever constructed a house before? The day of casting takes non stop cementing running into overnight. Have some compassion man!\"
