Subject: Problem of open manholes in our locality
Sir:
I am writing to your good-self to bring to your attention the inconvenience being faced by the residents of Green Enclave owing to open manholes. The Municipal Corporation laid new sewage pipes in our colony two months ago. However, the roads were left unrepaired afterwards. Many of the manholes were not covered; and the other had poor quality covers which broke down within a few days. We wrote many letters requesting the concerned authorities to cover these manholes but to no avail. Owing to these open manholes, everyday there is a mishap of some sort. During the rains, the situation becomes the worst. Many people have been badly injured by falling in them. I feel the authorities are waiting for some tragic incident to happen before they will take any action!
I on behalf of the residents of the area appeal to you to bring this matter to the notice of concerned authorities; we want to be relieved of the inconvenience we have been facing for so many weeks. Our children, elderly, and other people are getting hurt every day, not to mention the harassment we are constantly facing. If no immediate action is taken, we will be forced to call media and have a documentary made and shown on TV. May be this will instigate the concerned authority to action. I hope you will give my letter enough space in the columns of your reputed daily. Thanking you.
Yours truly,

Subject:- Complaining About Dangerous Situation Of Open Main Holes
Respected Sir,
I would like to throw light on the subject of dangerous situation of open main holes through your newspaper.
I would like to state that all the pedestrians walking through the city streets ,where the open manholes are found.These open manholes are nothing but just death traps. The people especially who walk down the Street at night and during rainy season when the streets are flooded with water covering the manholes unnoticed. The fact is that are these open manholes have claimed lives of many people.
In order to avoid occurrence of such incidence in future, I kindly request to the city corporation to take action in covering the open manholes so that the pedestrians can walk freely through the footpaths at night and during rains.”
Yours faithfully,
RiyaG
