UNot a regular smoker, smokes once in maybe 4 or 5 months. Police came to our house coz my husband who visits my house once in a week, and smokes barely once in 4 to 6 months smoked in our own balcony. The neighbours complained and as police came and asked us to visit police station. Just 3 people said we received a complaint, please visit police station tomorrow at 10. How bad is our situation? Also, before smoking he made sure no1 was outside before smoking, then suddenly this person came outside after seeing him smoke and starting shouting in marathi. We asked him to speak in Hindi and he said no.

HThings to consider;
Fire Safety: Improper disposal of cigarette butts can be hazardous.
Rules & Regulations: Many buildings have restrictions on balcony smoking.
While smoking on your private balcony in Mumbai is generally allowed under national law, it’s crucial to be considerate of neighbors and adhere to any specific rules set by your housing society to maintain a harmonious living environment.
The police visit is tricky. Maybe best to consult a lawyer.

UAm pretty sure you are well within your rights and nobody can stop you from smoking in your own balcony. How the hell do police have time for such nonsense to show up at 10pm? If I were in your place I’d lawyer go and let the lawyer five both the cops and the neighbours an earful and tell them to come to court if they want.

UWait wait.. why is nobody asking about her husband ‘visiting’ her only once a week? What is this setting and how then do you know how often he smokes? Daal mein kuch kala hai daya

ULol, that’s so funny actually!
Bro, my guy needs to work and I also have to work, unfortunately, in different cities.
And… if you see someone smoke every day, then it makes sense to get angry. But that doesn’t happen… One day they see him smoke and he come out of the house to shout. And why should it be a concern that he visits only once a week?

Ssomeone probably threw a few cigarette butts down their balcony from your series of fl6at and your maintenance comette received plenty of compliments to stop it and make an example out of it someone decided to call the police next time anyone is seen caught smoking in balcony hopefully whoever is smoking in balcony and throwing the butts down is not from your flat you have to convay that to the comette jokers and authorities something similar has been happening in our society cause if few they have kicked out most if students bachlors 🙃🫣

UTell them to restrict their kid from going to balcony,you can smoke in your own space anytime,they think restricting their kid from seeing someone smoking will keep him pure ,this will further raise the bar for curiosity that why did mummy papa call police on those uncle in the balcony for just asking about what he was doing ,their child will be more curious slowly on what he was doing he will then stop trusting his parents and confide to his friends those friends will introduce him to tobacco and a ton of other shit and then his parents will go crazy.

CThere is absolutely no law stopping you from smoking in your own house , you should have asked the person for his id and his station , if you’re still freaked out about this go to your local police station and inquire and narrate the incident and if you have cctv surveillance in the building keep a copy of the incident because you never know that person could be an imposter

U>and starting shouting in marathi. We asked him to speak in Hindi and he said no.
How was this relevant?

LAlthough one should learn the language of the place their migrating to , it is better to understand the other person if ur ur having an argument/misunderstanding.

UI don’t agree with that statement. There should be no ‘although’ or other conditions here imo. These are excuses used by people to not assimilate and later look down on the locals.
>it is better to understand the other person if ur ur having an argument/misunderstanding.
The exact same logic I would use for OP. I don’t see why the locals have to bend over backwards. It is very essential for communication and cultural integration.
