Sub: Increasing Crimes by Teenagers in Our Locality.
Sir
I write to your esteemed self to express my deep concern over the increasing crime rate in our locality, Model Town Extension, and the police’s lackadaisical approach to the gravity of the situation. The incidents of thefts, kidnapping, jewellery and purse snatching, mobile snatching, eve-teasing are on the increase. There is an atmosphere of insecurity and fear in the entire locality. No resident dares to go out after the dark. The most worrying factor is most of these crimes are being done by the teenagers. These crimes are the fallout of their unregulated and unmonitored overexposure to the internet.
It really pains to see young teenagers being caught by police. Quite ironically, they belong to families with respectable background. Being elders it is our moral responsibility to prevent the youngsters from going astray. The schools, the parents, and the government must come together to solve this problem. I have decided to bring the attention of the concerned authorities to the problem through the medium of your esteemed newspaper. I am hopeful that you will help me in sensitizing the concerned authorities, people and organizations by publishing this letter in your reputed daily.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Radhika
