The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has directed the department of Railways to pay Rs 2,000 as compensation to a senior citizen, who fell ill after being stranded post midnight at a station in Karnataka.
Have we ever thought of taking BMTC, Autos, BBMP, BWSSB, BESCOM, BSNL etc to task for deficient service? Hats of to this elderly citizen who have shown the way for 'chalta Hai' syndrome citizens like me to wake up from the slumber and fight for the fair services.
It is time we all start filing complaints for that lousy and deficient service from our civic agencies.
May the tribe of 'Balasaheb Bangi' increase many folds. Sir, we salute you for your courage.

I really want to sue BBMP for wear & tear of vehicles due to the deficient roadways they have built in town. I dont see how else they will realize the seriousness of their jobs.

The corrupt BBMP officers, and other politicians involved in various scams related to road maintenance should be brought to book by strong Lokaukta instead of claiming tire wear and tear.
1. Strong Lokpal / Lokaukta bills are the key legislations.
2. Less political interference with police / Judiciary
3. Electoral reforms
4. Unfortunately, We get what we deserve

...A 32-year-old techie was shocked when an autorickshaw driver asked him to get off his vehicle midway. When he refused, the latter threatened to set him ablaze. When he phoned RT Nagar police station, he was asked to bring the driver to the station and file a complaint...

@kbsyed61
IMHO Auto drivers can refuse service I think, if not convenient to them. Can they be considered as a private enterprice? We do not know the reason for the peculiar behaviour of the particular Auto driver rfered in your comment above.
To day twice the auto person did not give me the change for my 20 Rs when I was obligated to pay only min fare 0f rs 17/- In a governament service the same would be considered as a bribe, for prompt service.
However government servants are obligated to provide the service assigned to them as per the service rules. Auto drivers are not.
