Sub: indiscriminate felling of trees.
sir,
Through the column of your esteemed daily I would like to ventilate my concern about the thoughtless and indiscriminate felling of trees.
We have a state of outstanding natural resources. The great expanse of forest with their fauna and flora is a veritable source of economic strength in our country. A large number of rural people is mainly dependent on forests for their livelihood. But the indiscriminate felling of trees by some unscrupulous persons in this area has caused an alarming situation these days. It is a great pity that the forest area is gradually being dwindled. Random deforestation is mainly responsible for that. Rapid industrialization, unplanned housing are the major causes of the decline of forest. It is a great threat to the environment of our area. All this affects our lives badly and adversely. The level of pollution is on peak level.
Natural calamities are taking place very now and then. Though we know that tree are our life-giver and life-saver, we thoughtlessly cut down trees. This thoughtless felling of trees causes havoc to the eco-balance and weakens our economy. But unfortunately we do not pay heed to such gravest threat. The common people are not made aware of the gravity of the problem. The more the growth of population increases, the more felling down of trees increases. We deprive ourselves of green touch due to urbanisation, excessive population growth and for sweeft development. Due to deforestation our eearth regalarly faces droughts, floods, cyclonic storm, soil and water erosion, air pollution, global warming.
But our latest hope is that the government, the NGOs and commoners we will work together to check deforestation and create mass awareness in this respect.

Subject: Felling of trees in our locality
Dear Sir:
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern over the problem of felling trees of in our locality. I am deeply anguished and concerned at this recklessness. There are already just a few trees left in residential colonies. How should we make the people and the Government to understand that trees are the oxygen generators for us!? We can’t survive without them.
Trees can’t be allowed to be felled in the name of new constructions! Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to people and the Government to preserve the few trees that are left among human colonies. It must be done at any cost. Kindly publish my letter in your reputed daily.
Yours truly,
Moksh
