        Hi Reddit. Writing this at 3:18 am. I live in Dehradun, previously known for peace and serenity, and now for endless construction and dust.

        Next to the building in which I live, is an upcoming residential building for which construction has been ongoing for a while now.

        They start work early in the morning which is really noisy, and continue till late at night, in the AM.

        Today I got tired of it all and called the police numerous times and barely got a reasonable response. Only once did I receive a callback after my entire family called at least 5 times at 112 and 100 because we literally could not sleep due to how loud it was. The one time where I did receive a callback, the policeman said that he would look into the matter. This was around 12 am.

        I did see him enter the construction siteโ€™s premises with one more policeman and they got into a conversation for a solid half hour. And then they left.

        And still, nothing happened. 1 am and the noise didnโ€™t stop.

        I called that policeman again. I asked him what happened and he said โ€œHum mauke par hain, aur ye theek hojayegaโ€.

        Itโ€™s now 3:24 am. The noise is unbearable at 65 decibels.

        I recently moved to India from abroad and I really looked forward to it. But I guess India will always be like the incompetent, 3rd world shithole global media portrays it as.

        What to do?

          Welcome to India. Best is when they are sleeping or quiet, point your speakers and play loud Metal.
