Sub: Frequent Digging up of Roads
Sir,
I would like to highlight the problems faced by the residents of Sector 19, Noida due to the frequent digging up of roads by various departments, such as electricity, water supply, sewage, telephones, etc. It seems that there is no coordination between these departments and the PWD. We have to put up with traffic diversions almost every fortnight. Great inconvenience is caused by the unfilled up pits and dust rising from the unsettled earth. The dug roads remain unrepaired and cause traffic hazards as well as accidents.
We have written to the Development Authority many times, but our repeated efforts have failed to bear any fruit. Even today the roads are lying in a dug-up state.
I hope the publication of the letter in your newspaper will draw the attention of the authorities to our plight and motivate them to expedite the repair work.
Yours faithfully
Vibha Mehra

Subject The Media Must Highlight Youth’s Role in Eradicating Society’s Problems

Sir,
You are well aware that society faces a number of problems like poverty, unemployment and corruption. The youth of the country is playing an important role in helping to eradicate such problems from society. You represent an important section of the media and must highlight any instances in which such problems are successfully handled by the youth of the country.

You may bring it out as a news item, a feature or a story with actual photographs, so that everyone becomes aware that the youth of the country are very vigilant these days and feel concerned about the problems being faced by the people. Unfortunately, such news items are spotlighted rarely by the media. We, the youth of the country, look forward to better coverage of our activities which lead the country into an era of less corruption, more employment and no poverty.

Yours sincerely

Subject Help for the Victims of Flood

Sir,
I shall deem it a great favour if you publicise, in the columns of your esteemed daily, the miserable condition of the flood-stricken people of Bhrindan and other adjoining villages in Jorhat district of upper Assam. Also issue an appeal for help to these hard-hit people.

Due to heavy rains for three days and the breach of the Shanpur Bandh, the flood, all of a sudden, entered these villages on the 27th of June. It caused havoc, as many huts were washed away. Many people died as they were trapped inside their homes by the rising flood water. Some of the affected people are passing their days on trees and are without food, clothing and shelter. Parents have been separated from their children. Help has not yet reached these villages. Rescue teams with medicine and food are yet to arrive.

I therefore, request you to publish this letter so as to appeal to the public to come forward and help these homeless victims of the flood before it is too late.

Yours faithfully
Rohit

Subject Problems Caused by Stray Animals

Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the Municipal Commissioner to the problems caused by stray animals on city roads. Not a single day passes when we don’t witness traffic jams on the roads. The reason for these jams are not heavy traffic movement, but stray animals roaming about on the roads.

These animals not only cause traffic jams but also create severe accidents. Just three days ago I witnessed a biker chased by dogs. He tried to drive away, in the process jumping a red light and meeting with an accident. Yesterday a bull gored a person so badly that he needed to be admitted to a hospital.

Despite many complaints to the concerned authorities, no action has been taken so far. These stray animals are becoming a nuisance. They are a danger to not only us but to themselves also. It is my request to the Municipal Commissioner to please take a note of the situation and rectify it as soon as possible.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely
Suresh

Sub: Poor Maintenance of Monuments
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to assert the fact that we Indians, particularly Delhiites do not value our heritage. We carelessly spoil our treasures. It can be seen in the attitude of our people towards the historical monuments. Delhi is rich in monuments. In Europe, such a legacy would be preserved and beautified but here it is spoiled and ruined by our own people through sheer ignorance, carelessness, laziness, and disregard. In case you happen to visit the Red Fort, you will find not history but romantic messages.
We must be proud of our city and its heritage. Then only we will be motivated to preserve its beauty and elegance. I appeal to fellow citizens to open their eyes and fall in love with the beauty of our city and help in its proper maintenance.
Yours faithfully
Ashita Sarin
