Start with a clear description

This sample checklist covers everyday reporting habits. Describe the issue, the nearest landmark and when you noticed it. Stay on public paths and do not put yourself at risk to take a photograph.

Use the appropriate official channel

Check the relevant public authority’s official website for its current reporting process. Keep any reference number you receive. Perambur connect is a community publication and cannot register an official complaint on your behalf.

Follow up responsibly

If you share an update with the community, state when it was checked. Avoid posting personal information about workers, residents or complainants. If something changes, send a correction.
