IV Imagine there is a shopping complex near your school. Many hawkers sit on the pavement to sell
their wares. This causes a lot of problem to the pedestrian students, who walk to the school.
Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper highlighting the issue and requesting the authorities to
prohibit sellers from selling their wares on the footpath. Add more details to make the letter
convincing.

Subject - inconvenience caused due to hawkers sitting on pavements
Sir,
I am a school going student, who walks past Savitri Shopping Complex every day to reach school. The complex is situated at Alambagh Chauraha, which is a very congested area.
Presence of hawkers with their wares decreases the area available for walking. This, in turn, causes increased traffic, due to problems in the movement of vehicles.
The greater problem occurs when there occurs traffic jam, with heavy trucks moving around. Officials, as well as students, face inconvenience due to mentioned problems.
Through this letter, I want to bring this to the government's notice to help pedestrians with this problem. Please provide a suitable place or market for those people, for convenience to them as well as pedestrians.
Looking forward to action from the government.
Thank you,
Yours truly,
Neha Sharma.

Respected sir,
Subject: Highlighting and requesting action for pavement issues reg/-
I use bus to travel from my house to office. The bus stop near my office is few feet away, I will take the pavement to walk to my office. There are schools and banks in the surrounding. In the pavement, there are people selling things, homeless with tents and drunkard lying across the pavement.
The children and people are not using the pavement whereas they are walking on the main road. Since this road also connects to the highway, the heavy lorries and buses use this road. This is very dangerous for the people who are not taking pavement.
So, I request you to write an article about this issue and request the government authorities to take action for this problem.
Thank you
Yours sincerely,
