Subject: Bad condition of roads
Sir:
I write to your good self to express my concern over the bad condition of roads due to which many accidents take place every year. A poor condition of roads is one of the major causes of road accidents in India. According to data issued on road accidents by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the total number of road accidents increased by 2.5 per cent from 4,89,400 in 2014 to 5,01,423 in 2015. The total number of persons killed in road accidents increased by 4.6 per cent from 1,39,671 in 2014 to 1,46,133 in 2015. Though not all accidents are caused by poor roads, however, poor roads play quite a significant role in these accidents.
This problem of poor roads is quite widespread in the nation. Especially during and after the monsoons the roads are badly damaged. In the cities, the drains get damaged. The coverings of the manholes are dislodged. Quite frequently these broken drains and uncovered manholes become the causes of the accidents.
These accidents can be stopped by making quality roads and timely repair of the broken roads, poor drainage system and ramshackle conditions of roads. The departments responsible for the maintenance of roads should act proactively and ensure road safety. Through the medium of your esteemed newspaper I appeal to the concerned authorities at the state and central government to look into the matter and take prompt action to address the problem. Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Sunil Sinha

Dear Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the bad condition of roads in our locality. The condition of roads is deplorable with countless potholes making the purpose of the road, a failure. Moreover, things get even worse during the rainy season when potholes are not visible due to the poor drainage system and the area becomes heavily accident prone. The residents are facing a lot of inconvenience due to the road condition.
On behalf of the residents of Mayur Vihar, I humbly request you to pass on this information to the concerned authorities and use the influence of your esteemed organization in getting the work done.
I hope that you consider the request of the residents of this area and take proper action.
Yours faithfully,
Priya Awasthi
