Sub: Consequences of climatic changes

Sir

Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I want to express my deep concern and anxiety about the climatic changes due to various man-made reasons.

 Man is responsible for all the degradation of the environment. It started with the indiscriminate felling of trees. Deforestation has led to innumerable harms to the environment and ecology. Trees provide oxygen and absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. The clearing of forests led to droughts and dry spells. This has resulted in global warming and sudden climatic changes.

sick earth from pollution concept 1308 26840

 Pollution of air, water, and the land is making our living quite miserable. Our seas, rivers, and lakes are also polluted. They have become dumping grounds for human and industrial wastes. Glaciers are melting. So are the ice volumes of the Poles. Man’s unlimited needs and limited natural resources are further aggravating the problem. Unplanned urbanization and industrialization have adversely affected the landscape and climate. Let us check the degradation of the environment and make this planet a pleasant place for human habitation.

Yours faithfully

Sub: CO2 and Global Warming

Sir,

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I want to highlight the increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. This has resulted in global warming and the rise in global temperature. We are condemned to pay a very high price of development and progress. Over the last decade, our environment and atmosphere have suffered severe degradation. The content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been steadily but surely on the rise.

In 1991, its level in the atmosphere was near 855. In ten years, it has gone5fab6a60362bb up to 870. Similarly, global warming has resulted in a steep rise in temperature. The larger the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the greater is the global warming. Nothing has caused so much havoc as the deforestation done on a very large scale. Trees are the main source of oxygen. The burning of firewood, coal, and LPG increases the CO2 level in the atmosphere. Vehicular smoke is another cause of enhancing the CO2 level. If effective and prompt steps are not taken to minimize the CO2 level, the whole atmosphere will turn into a gas chamber.

We have to strike a balance between progress and survival. All factories, vehicles, and devices that produce more than the required level of CO2, must be banned. Reforestation must be launched on a big scale to counter the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere. Save the atmosphere. Otherwise, our survival itself is in danger.

 Yours faithfully

Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, kindly allow me to express my great concern and anxiety at the increase in road accidents in the metropolitan cities of India.

It is quite disturbing that over the last few years there has been a steady increase in the number of people killed in road accidents in our country. In the year 2013, 2014 and 2015, 137,000, 139,671 and 146,000 people died respectively in road accidents in India. Most of these accidents were caused by rash and negligent driving. Drinking and driving have become quite a common feature.

The concerned authorities must give exemplary punishments to the rash and negligent drivers. Drinking and driving can’t go together. The defaulters must be heavily fined or punished. The traffic police must enforce the rules and culture of the road very strictly. Only then our roads will be safe and secure.

Sir

Through the column of your prestigious daily, I want to highlight the lawlessness and chaos prevailing in Civil Lines, Amritsar. Amritsar has witnessed some unholy activities like thefts, dacoities, robberies, and even murders in recent months. This has made life quite unsafe and miserable in the city.

I am a resident of Civil Lines. It is an area inhabited by important 5fab6b6514a70government officials, rich and powerful citizens. However, of late it has earned the notoriety of being the most criminal-prone area in the city. Every day we hear thefts and robberies committed in one part of the locality or the other. The murder of a senior citizen last month has resulted in the total loss of faith in the local police. Cases of chain snatching have become a common feature of life in the area. Women rarely move out of their houses after dark.

We suggest some immediate and effective measures to restore law and order in the area. There should be extensive police patrolling after sunset to ensure safety for young girls and women. Exemplary punishment should be given to the lawbreakers and criminals. I hope the local police will take immediate and effective steps to restore peace, law, and order in the area. The earlier, the better.

Sir

Through the column of your prestigious national daily, I want to highlight the urgent need for providing night shelter for homeless people.

 I am a resident of 12, Nai Wala Gali, Karol Bagh, New Delhi. India excels in 5fab6bd22c2c2contrast. One of the major economies of the world has the maximum number of homeless poor people in the world. Millions of people in India spend their nights under the starry or cloudy skies. Many unfortunate persons fight for a little space on the pavements. Long winters become unbearable for these homeless orphans. They try to find out some shelters under the bridges, at railway stations or in public buildings. But they are hounded out from there by the police. Last month five people lost their lives due to extreme cold conditions.

The administration must show its human face. The state government must open adequate night shelters and provide free lodging for such persons. It will save hundreds of unfortunate homeless people from dying in cold or chilly nights.

Sir

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I want to express my anguish and concern at the nuisance caused by the stray cattle in the city.

 Of late the city has witnessed many accidents due to the nuisance caused by stray cattle. Only a few days ago a biker was killed when a running cow5fab6ccf3b4ba hit him in the middle of the road. We can’t imagine cattle strolling leisurely on the roads of New York, London, or Sydney. But India presents a totally different scene. You can find cows walking with leisurely steps on the highways or in the lanes of any city. Puri is a temple town. To make things still worse, people throw food in the middle of the roads for the animals. The roads become feeding centers of cows, bulls, horses, donkeys, and dogs.

There is no arrangement for capturing such stray cattle and sending them to the special pens run by the corporation. There should be a special squad. It should have fixed responsibilities of clearing away the roads from the unwanted and stray cattle.

Yours faithfully

Sir,

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards the Importance of National Integration. I hope these lines find some space in your prestigious newspaper. I was one among a group of students who represented my state Uttar Pradesh in a national youth exchange programme in New Delhi.

5fab6d4dc5339It was really an eye-opener. It made me realize how great India is in its plurality. The spirit of unity in diversity is really amazing. What a wonder is a country called India! Students from Mizoram, Meghalaya, Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, and Tripura presented a different world of the North-East that is fascinating as well as thrilling. Kashmiri, Dogri, Himachali students presented the splendours of a culture that throbs the valleys and foothills of the Himalayas. Only there, I realized the concept of ‘Incredible India’.

It was a novel experience to see how students of different religious, regional, cultural, and linguistic groups mingled together like one big family. It was a study in contrasts. Their complexions, traits, dresses, food-habits, and ways of life reflected a rich variety. But an underlying unity and national unity echoes in this seeming diversity. India is really incredible. Our diversity is also the strength of our unity. This spirit of national integration must be encouraged and promoted in every walk of life. We should learn to live like a family of 1.25 billion people transcending our regional, cultural, religious, and linguistic diversities.

 Yours sincerely

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I express my anguish at the deterioration of Prasad Nagar Lake and its surroundings.

There was a time when Prasad Nagar Lake and its surroundings were considered to be the most beautiful spot in the area. It is a pity that within a5fab6e08f20d6 decade everything has reached a stage of decay and deterioration. I am a regular visitor to the lake. Of late residents of the colony have been disturbed by the constant flow of foul-smelling water into the lake garden. This has been caused due to the repeated bursting of a sewer line running next to the lake garden. The foul-smelling water accumulates and stagnates in the lake. This has resulted in the heavy presence of algae in the lake. It has hampered the boating facilities provided here by the authorities. The state of fish farming is quite deplorable.

I hope this letter will arouse the concerned authorities out of their hibernation. They must take immediate and effective steps to bring the lake and its surroundings back to its former grandeur and glory.

The medical services should be readily available at reasonable rates in government hospitals. Unfortunately, all these infrastructures and facilities are conspicuous by their absence in Kanpur city. Unplanned urbanization, encroachments, illegal constructions and frequent violations of the law have made Kanpur a huge slum not suitable for human

While preparing any blueprint of a modem city the emphasis must be laid on the superstructure and the infrastructure. Only by updating and upgrading the sewage, drainage, transport, water and electric conveniences and medical facilities we can make Kanpur a pleasant place to live in.

Globalization is not confined to the economy only. Even our food habitsjunk food black slate with copy space 23 2148273109 have been globalized. The craze for fast foods like burgers, pietas, and pasta has increased in recent years. The youth have developed a special liking for them. McDonald’s, KFC, Pizza Huts are leading multinationals who promote junk foods.

The junk food, no doubt, tingles our taste buds. But it has little or no nutritional value. The general public, particularly, the youth must know the health hazards caused by the regular eating of junk food. It causes obesity. Habitual eaters suffer from many other diseases of liver, digestion, and kidneys. Let us remember that fresh food cooked in our kitchen with liberal use of vegetables and fruits are really tasty as well as nutritious. Junk food is good only for ‘junkies’.

Sir,

Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I want to highlight the difficulties and plight of the artisans who make the design of Indian handicrafts.

 Indian handicrafts have earned quite a name and fame abroad. Indian5fab6f5620381 handicrafts are in great demand in the US, Europe, and the Gulf countries. The businessmen and their agents mint money at the cost of the artisans. They exploit them. The Government is indifferent to their problems. The poor artisans and craftsmen never get the raw material at reasonable rates. Then comes the problem of selling their finished products. The touts and middlemen decide their fate and rates.

It is shocking that most of these artisans live in perpetual poverty, want, and neglect. The Government must come out with a blueprint that may lead to the promotion of Indian handicrafts and the protection of the artisans. Co-operatives must be encouraged. The artisans and craftsmen must be provided easy loans to buy the raw products. The middlemen and crafty businessmen should not be allowed to fleece them. Only such positive steps can promote Indian handicrafts abroad and save the exploitation of the native artisans.

 Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw your attention to the initiative by Chief Minister Mr Arvind Kejriwal to control pollution in Delhi in the form of the odd-even formula for road transport. This has restricted the plying of cars on the road on the basis of odd and even numbers.

Although the initiative did cause some inconvenience to the public yet for a safe environment and to breathe fresh air such initiatives are a must.
