House No. 18/521
Borivali East, Mumbai

To
The Deputy Superintendent of Police
Borivali East, Mumbai
Subject- Regarding disturbance in the neighbourhood
Respected Sir
I want to draw your kind attention to the issue of nuisance being created in my neighbourhood. It is very troublesome.
Sir, the residents of house no. 18/519 play music all day and night at a high volume. They use loudspeakers, even past 10 pm, which makes it impossible for us to do any other activity. Since my exams are around the corner, it is important to study but loud music makes it impossible to focus and concentrate. The president of the Housing Welfare Association has tried to talk to them but all his efforts have gone in vain.
I request you to look into this matter as soon as possible and take the rectifying action. I look forward to your cooperation.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
Sunita
