Sir
The residents of Gandhi Nagar locality are experiencing a great scarcity of water these days. Previously, the residents used to get water for about three 
hours in the morning and three hours in the evening. But now the taps go dry even during the morning hours. It has put the residents to great inconvenience. Many have to go without their daily bath and wash. In order to improve the water supply, the MC must take some urgent steps. It is suggested that a couple of new tube-wells should be dug in the area to meet the demand of the residents. Watering the plants in house gardens should strictly be disallowed during the morning hours. Water metres should be installed at all houses to stop the wasteful use of water. All these steps, taken together, can go a long way in improving the condition of water supply in this area.
Yours sincerely

 Dear Sir
 Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the
attention of the authorities concerned to the inconvenience caused to the residents of Chanakyapuri, due to the wretched condition of the main road leading to our locality. The road is a virtual death trap for the people as it is pockmarked with open manholes. The situation worsens during the rainy season when the road is virtually flooded and the open manholes simply go unnoticed.
These open manholes have claimed many lives. I would appeal to the authorities concerned to take remedial action at the earliest to ensure that the pedestrians can walk freely through the road safely at night and during rains.
 Yours faithfully

Subject:Â Effect of taking families while going abroad to play
Dear Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw attention to the bias of the government towards cricketers and ignoring the athletes when it comes to allowing them to take their wives along with them on foreign tours.
An athlete, a gymnast, a cricketer, whosoever goes abroad to represent our country is under pressure to perform. The presence of a loved one around can really boost their confidence. But only cricketers are allowed to take their wives along which depicts the biased nature of the government. Maybe, if athletes are also offered the same, they would perform better and make the country proud. A small gesture of this kind on the part of the government will bring the results of a greater magnitude.

Subject: Harmful effects of tourism on Corbett National Park
 Dear Sir
 Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw 
the attention of the government to the rampant abuse of the available facilities in the Corbett National Park by tourists and the consequent endangering of the environment. I, along with a group of students from Akash Public School, Agra, went on a 3-day tour of the national park. I found that tourists not only littered the place with non-biodegradable plastic packets and wrappers but also used fuelwood from the forests for cooking. Excessive trampling of the soil has a harmful effect on the ecosystem. The tranquillity of the habitat was disturbed by the tourists playing loud music in their Safari jeeps.
The Corbett National Park is the oldest in the country, established in 1936, to protect the endangered Royal Bengal tiger. The public should be made aware of the fact that eco-tourism should not be allowed at the cost of endangering the environment.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully

Sir
Through the thought-provoking columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the issue of
the unauthorised occupation of the only park/garden developed for the general public of our locality by the local self-styled `Netas’. They use it for commercial and political activities. They hold small functions and parties here and the children of the locality are not allowed to enter the park. Now and then, they invite one politician or the other and hold functions just to keep the authorities and politicians happy. In one corner of the park, they have erected a pucca room as well. If anybody raises voice against this malpractice, the musclemen of these `Netas’ silence them.
Our locality is a concrete jungle and this public park is the only place to breathe in the fresh air. But the unauthorized occupation of this open space has deprived the people of taking a stroll or even sitting in the park. Moreover, the musclemen of the `Netas’ remain in the park all the time and this keeps the women and children away. The senior citizens are also fed up with the situation but are helpless.
Our many complaints to the local police and the authorities have fallen on deaf ears. Through your column, I hope to address my grievance to the civil authorities and compel them to initiate proper action to restore the park to the residents of the locality.
Yours sincerely,
Shagun Kapoor

Subject: Expressing concern towards irregularities being done in a fair price shop
Sir
Through the columns of your well-circulated newspaper, I would like to express my concern about the non-availability of essential commodities in the fair price shop of our area.
This fair price shop is run by a private party under the direct supervision of the Food and Supplies Department. It is supposed to maintain a steady supply of essential commodities at reasonable and subsidized rates. But these commodities mostly remain conspicuous by their absence. Although I do not buy anything from the shop as it is for the benefit of the people of low-income groups, women and the elderly come and go away empty-handed and this pinches me a lot. I feel upset.
 The shopkeeper invariably puts the blame on the government and complains that essential commodities are in short supply and so he cannot satisfy the customers. But the fact is otherwise. A bulk of the commodities is sold to the private shopkeepers who sell them at market rates and the money is distributed among fair price shop owner and officials. The consumers are compelled to buy commodities from elsewhere. They have to shell out extra money which they have earned by a lot of hard work.
The officials visit the shop, sign the registers and go away with their fattened purses.
 I hope the appearance of my letter in your newspaper will draw the attention of the higher authorities to this irregularity and malpractice and they would take appropriate steps to correct the situation.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Expressing concern over the negligence of medical staff
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to express my anguish and pain which I feel to see the medical staff of government hospitals paying scant or no attention to the patients and indulging in the dereliction of duty. This is to draw the attention of the lethargic authorities to initiate some steps to improve the situation.
The attitude of the medical staff is callous and indifferent. They treat the
patients as if they are beggars asking for alms. They refuse to entertain the needy and the invalids and try to put them off on one pretext or the other. They are not ready to give you a hearing. They plainly refuse admission and invariably say ‘no bed available’. The helpless invalids have to squat in the corridors waiting for their turn to be treated. Even the admitted sickly persons are neglected just to frighten them to move to private clinics. There seems to be a nexus between the medical staff and the private clinics.
Bleeding and the injured do not touch the heart of the medical staff. They make their relatives run to the market for bandages, ointment, injection and what not. The poor people visit hospitals to get free treatment and government employees come because their bills would be reimbursed. The very medical staff serves VIPs like anything but for the general public their sentiments and emotions have dried up.
It is hoped that the concerned would take strict and exemplary action against the callous members of the medical staff.
Yours sincerely,
Karan Singh

Subject: Concern over violence and sex in Indian films
Sir
 Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to express my views pertaining to the shameless display of violence and sex in Indian films. This trend is highly disconcerting. The producers feel that only the inclusion of sex and violence in their films can ensure their success at the box office. So they give a heavy dose of bedroom scenes, bathing scenes, rape scenes. Filmmakers are not bothered whether such scenes are needed or not. Thus, scenes depressingly lewd and totally unsuitable for mass viewing are displayed.
Today the fight composer occupies a special position. He remains in search of ingenious ways of perpetuating cruelty. This display of mindless violence pollutes the minds of viewers. Their sensibility gets contaminated. Imitating their heroes, they also indulge in violence. Our generation has become trigger-happy.
The blanket ban on the scenes of sex and violence will not do and it is not desirable. It will mean swimming against the currents. Sex should be treated aesthetically to invoke pleasure and not basic instincts. Similarly, evil cannot be excluded from life. Cinema mirrors society. Evil and violence will stay there, but violence shown in films must look repulsive and not glorious. Above all, our film-makers should not blindly follow Hollywood. Ours is a different culture. For their own profits, they should not be allowed to corrupt our society.
Yours sincerely,
 Ramesh

Subject: Expressing concern over reckless driving
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities and the general public towards the issue of more and more cases of reckless driving every day. Accidents due to 
reckless driving are the order of the day. The speed maniacs responsible for most of the accidents disappear from the scene leaving it the victims bleeding and crying. After knocking down a person, they flee before anybody can note down the number of there vehicles. They have no humanity left in them they think that the road is their private property. Reckless drivers overtake from the left disregarding all traffic rules. Traffic lights have no meaning for them.
The penalties imposed for reckless driving are too lenient to be effective. Time is ripe to impose heavy penalties on offenders. A reckless driver who speeds away after knocking down a person should be forced to spend at least one year in the prison cell, after being caught by the police. We need a large squad of traffic police to chase offenders. Those who exceed the speed limits must be given an exemplary punishment. The syllabus of each class must contain one chapter on traffic rules. Youths and other drivers must be taught to respect human life.
 The publication of this letter in your day will certainly bring some sense to the reckless drivers.
Yours sincerely,
Rama Kant
