Hello,
Thanks for your interest in this topic and I hope this is useful to you and I welcome share your thoughts and experiences here as well....
Up until two years ago, I have never stepped into a police station as such dealing with any specific issues BUT I had an idea as to how bad it is....
I moved to Hyderabad in early 2006 and picked up Prashasan Nagar Jubilee Hills hoping that would be a quiet and calm neighbourhood... few weeks after moving, I realized that I couldn't have picked up a worst place for the money than Prashasan Nagar.... contruction activities in few plots around the neighbourhood makes it lively and it was like living next to a 24x7 factory!! On top of that my next door neighbour happen to have a dog that barks ONLY in the night and their helps (maids, driver etc) live in the basement and don't sleep in the night (we live in the ground floor next door!)..... My other neighour is a BPO company with @50 people working in the nights and you know what happens when they step out for a break or a smoke or finishing up their work in the wee hours of the night!!! In addition they had 4 industrial strength AC units that made hell lot of noise in the night and also was throwing LOT of HOT air into my House!! We couldn't play or take some fresh air outside my home (within our plot)...
As you can imagine... I was faced with trouble all around...not one, not two but many issues involving several entities....mostly rich and powerful people....my neighbour happen to be a DIG and he was part of the problem as well!!
I didn't give up... I took one by one and solved them systematically.... today, you cannot run a construction activity after 6 PM without my permission in and around my house (@300+M)!!! So, you could say that I have succeeded in my attempts!! How did I do that? Not that fast!!!
I will be posting each of these issues in detail along with the experiences!!! Watch out for my posts against this topic!!!
Thanks
Raj

Industrial Strength AC Units and BPO business
My right side neighbour had rented his property to one of the IT services company who also has a BPO business. They had a 4 huge Industrial Strength AC units and it was smothering my house with hot Air!!! We couldn't stay outside our house due to the hot air and I couldn't sleep in the night due to the BPO operations next house....
So, here is what happened:
1. I called up the City Health Department and made a verbal complaint
2. I insisted that the AC of health to visit the proeprty and he asked me if I would give a written statement for which I promptly responded with a positive YES!
3. The AC of Health did come by and took my complaint
4. I also applied for a copy of health department certificate of clearance to run the BPO business in the night and for the industrial strength AC units.
5. I did not get copies of the above but the AC of Health did admit to me that they had no such certificate. But since he was willing to help me, I let him get away not responding to that request!
6. I continued to complain to the compnay about the AC units and the BPO noise in the night. After few complaints, the company executives showed up to meet me and asked me what the issues were... and I told them about the AC units and noise in the night. They initially were not very keen but I insisted that they should take care of it or else I would force the city government to take action. For which they said that this is INDIA and that they could always get the required licenses in no time. I told them that they could certainly try that and also told them that I have a written resply from the health department that you didn't have any clearance or licenses for their operation. This took care of everything!! They promised me that they will remove the AC units in few days and THEY DID!
7. I continued my complaint about the BPO in the night and after few weeks they slowly shut down their BPO operation as well!
Finally it was over!
If you have similar issues then do follow up systematically with the Health Department!
