Subject: Condition of roads in Gandhinagar.

Sir
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, The Times of India, I would like to bring to
the kind attention of the concerned authorities and the general public to the subject matter.

The road leading to the Public School is so congested throughout the day. It is the main
road but there are potholes everywhere on the road. Mainly during the morning hours,
people face horrible situations when they are going to their workplaces.
So, school students and parents get stuck here in traffic jams. The local people made many
representations to the government, but no action has been taken so far.

Therefore, through the column of your newspaper, I request you to highlight the issue and
generate in the public interest so that the government takes action to improve the condition of
the road.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sir,
There is a poor management of waste near this marine. People are ignorant about
the pollution that is spilling into the ocean and the harm it can cause to the fishes.
The garbage, plastic bags and masks are getting littered near the marine area
which is causing pollution in the air as well as on the edges of the ocean.
The management team of this area is not doing its job properly and hence i am
writing to you to publish an article regarding this issue.
Your daily news is being read in almost every house in this area so addressing this
issue will raise awareness among the people.
Yours Truely

Subject: Increase in Road Accidents
Dear Sir
As a concerned citizen, I wish to draw your attention towards the increase in
road accidents in the metropolitan cities of India. The roads, these days, have
become a death-trap and no one feels safe.
Reckless and rash driving seems to be the root-cause behind these accidents.
People are leading a mechanised life today and so are always in a hurry. No
attention is paid to the speed-barriers or accident prone area-warnings. They
are least worried about their safety or the traffic rules. Another cause of these
accidents is the increase in the number of vehicles. The youth today want a
vehicle of his own. Most of the reckless driving is done by youth who are
reckless drivers.
Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I would like to appeal to
the authorities to take necessary strict action against such youngsters or law
violators. People should be made aware of traffic rules or the importance of
speed-barriers, speed limits through public awareness programmes so that
the city roads become a safe place for all those who use them.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely
