Sir
Subject: Noise pollution
Let me voice my concern about the rise of noise pollution in our city through the columns of your esteemed newspaper.
The number of vehicles moving on the roads of the city has increased considerably causing a lot of deafening noise at all hours. The motorists use pressure horns indiscriminately, and this adds to the already polluted environment, greatly hazardous to the health of the people. Moreover, the use of loudspeakers, especially for religious purposes, goes on till the dead of night. The high pitched sound of music systems, DJs or orchestras, etc. causes mental tension and disturbs sleep at night. One keeps on tossing the whole night and longs for calm and quiet. Students and the sick are the worst hit. Moreover, noise pollution is sure to create many mental and psychological problems.
The police and the administration should create awareness among the people against the use of pressure horns and loudspeakers. The lawbreakers should be severely punished.
Yours truly

The government must promote a cheap and comfortable public transport system. The number of buses and metro-trains should be increased. I hope all these measures will bring order and peace on the roads of India.

5. You are Ram/Rehana. You genuinely feel that despite the ban on tobacco-related advertisements and the law against smoking in public places, the consumption of tobacco and its products is on the rise in India. You are of the opinion that banning such adds will not serve the purpose. The government should come out with a blanket ban on the use of tobacco and the closure of the tobacco industry. Only such drastic measures will eliminate this evil. Write a letter to the editor of a national daily expressing your views and suggestions.
Hints: * Smoking in public * law not effective * consumption of tobacco and its product * alarming rise in cases of oral and lung cancer * blanket ban must * closure of tobacco industry * drastic measures and exemplary punishments * awareness among the public.

Sub: Ban on tobacco and closure of the tobacco industry
Sir
It has also passed a law against smoking in public places. But these steps have not produced the desired results. The consumption of tobacco and tobacco products is growing steadily in India. About nine lakh people die of tobacco-related diseases every year. Deadly diseases like cancer have shown a steady rise. Addiction to tobacco, the silent killer, is increasing, particularly among the youths and students. The government must eliminate the root cause of this evil. No doubt, tobacco is a great source of revenue for the government.
But millions of lives are more precious than earning this revenue. The only way to resolve this problem is the closure of the tobacco industry and a complete ban on smoking and the consumption of tobacco. The earlier, the better.

Sub: Abolishing capital punishment
Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards
If the state can’t grant life to anyone, how can it take away the life of a person? Natural law doesn’t approve of such barbaric and inhuman practices. Secondly, the aim of punishing a person for the crime he has committed is reformative. Capital punishment doesn’t leave any scope for reformative chances. Thirdly, birth and death are natural processes and can’t be terminated by the arbitrary will of the state. The state should not take away the right of redemption of an individual by sealing his fate forever. A civilised and human society must have civilised and human laws. There should be no place for any traces of barbaric practices of the middle ages in the modern world.
I hope this message will touch the conscience of thousands through the column of your esteemed daily.

Students are the worst sufferers. Long power cuts affect their studies. During the examination, the situation becomes really pathetic. The Electricity Board must install new and powerful transformers in the area. The supply of power must be streamlined. All necessary steps should be taken earnestly and promptly to give relief to the residents of the area.

Sir, the road leading to our school is very congested and full of potholes. At some places is fully damaged. It is full of pits. Due to these pits, heavy vehicles get imbalanced and overturn. Students and parents are often caught in a traffic jam.
We get late for daily. In spite of several representations, the Govt has not done anything to improve the condition of the road. We wish that this road must be of four lanes. There is enough open space on both sides of the road. If the road is widened it will be a boon for the students.
Thanking you

It is hoped that the concerned authorities would take strict steps. Cleaning the area must be made mandatory for the vendors and the stall owners. Dustbins in different places must be placed. The vendors should be fined heavily if they fail to keep the road clean.

Subject: Concern over the lavish show of wealth in marriages
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to express my concern over lavish spending on marriages. Lavish spending on marriages is in vogue these days. Lavishly decorated Banquet Halls, tastefully erected marriage pandals are a testimony to this lavish spending. This is nothing but a vulgar show of wealth. A lot of money goes waste in erecting these “pandals”.
Hard-earned money can never be spent lavishly. It is the black money that is the culprit. Income Tax department should take necessary steps to book the people who spend lavishly on marriages. Those who show off must be socially boycotted. Media should raise its voice against this evil. Youngsters must register resentment and protest against this evil practice. Would—be–couples should take a pledge not to be a part of this criminal spending. I hope my views would set at least a few people thinking and that would serve my purpose. It is high time that people started thinking in this direction.
Yours sincerely,
Kishen Mehta
