2/A Russel Street
Kolkata 45
12th February 2014
The Editor-in-Chief
The Times of India
52B Chowringee Lane
Kolkata
Subject: Bad road conditions of the city.
Sir/Madam,
It is with great dismay that I am bringing under your notice, the deteriorating road conditions in our locality. I write this letter to highlight how the present miserable condition of roads is affecting the lives of the citizens on a regular basis.
The increasing number of potholes is becoming a death trap for late night drivers. Because of the several broken edges and potholes, the vehicles have to halt after very short intervals therefore hindering the smooth run of transport. Often enough, traffic comes to a standstill, making it difficult for school and office goers to reach their destinations, on time. . Traffic jams consisting of a lengthy serpentine queue of vehicles have become every passenger’s nightmare. Despite lodging repeated complaints to the local authorities, no actions have been taken yet. All assurances have been given in vain. Owing to this deep distress, there’s a developing unrest.
I hope to use your daily as a medium of raising concern for this grave issue that affects the lives of a million people and hope it reaches the appropriate audience soon.
Thank you
Yours sincerely
Anay Mehta
