You should immediately serve the legal notice upon the concerned Municipal Corporation / Nagar Nigam / Panchayat / Development Authority and keep proof of service. If no prompt action is taken within the notice period, you may file a Writ Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution before the High Court seeking urgent directions for drainage, fogging, sanitation, garbage removal and preventive medical measures, citing violation of Article 21 (Right to Life & Health).

The query does not contain sufficient details to determine whether the situation legally amounts to a public health emergency or which authority, if any, is responsible. This would depend on facts such as the location, duration and severity of waterlogging and the applicable local laws. Without these particulars, no clear legal opinion can be given. Although a legal notice may have been drafted, its effectiveness will depend on a proper factual and jurisdictional assessment. A brief consultation is advisable before taking further steps.
