Subject: Awareness campaign for Diwali celebrations.
Respected sir,
I, on behalf of the members of our association request you to promote a pollution-free Diwali campaign. We are quite concerned about the result of bursting crackers in our locality due to the adverse effects it cause on infants, elders and animals.
Even though our judiciary has passed the law to minimise the usage to crackers, people are paying no heed to it. Therefore, we request you to start an awareness campaign with programs that help people understand the harmful effects of crackers.
We have started a campaign in our flat premises but as Diwali is nearing, we would like your support and esteemed presence in spreading this message all over Aurangabad.
Hoping for an action accordingly,
Yours faithfully,
Dheeraj Naik

Subject: City under the attack of noise pollution
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the problem of rising noise levels and its subsequent harmful effects in the city.
Our ever-expanding city was already bearing the effects of air and water pollution, but recently, the people have also started to adopt the trend of enjoying their extravaganza with the loudest noise possible. Gone are the days when tourists used to enjoy the serenity of the city and calm themselves in the embrace of our quiet temples and mosques. Rather today, every block has some or other loudspeaker pumping their message in the atmosphere. Marriage processions and DJs during wedding spread the inharmonious music to everyone around, concerned or stranger, and disrupt the sleep and study periods of the elderly and students likewise.
If this menace is not put to control soon, our city shall perish in tourism and public health sector. An arrangement should be made to ensure marriages take place on the outskirts of the city. The police should act more responsibly and look into any complaint about noisy neighbours whenever they get a phone. I hope that after reading an article about the noise pollution of the city in your newspaper, the concerned authorities wake up from their slumber and take action accordingly.
Thank You
Yours sincerely
Karuna Singh
