Sub: Illegal felling of trees
Sir
May I use the columns of your daily to draw the attention of the public and the authorities concerned towards an act that has caused severe violation of environment. The central park adjacent to Green Road had many tall and beautiful trees which added to its glory. Of late some people began to use it for hosting wedding parties or political functions. They caused much damage to the environment by damaging the plants, flowers, young trees and grass growing in the lawns as well as creating noise pollution through loudspeakers.
Yesterday, some enthusiastic members of the green club protested to the organiser of a political assembly against the misuse of the park and the untold harm to environment. To our surprise, we found that all the tall trees had been felled and cut down into logs overnight.
We have lodged a complaint with the local police station. We appeal to you to publish this letter of protest against the illegal felling of trees with your comments and remind the authorities that it is the responsibility of the state to preserve healthy environment.
I am confident that you will take up this cause.
Yours faithfully
Deepak/Deepika

Subject- The unnecessary deforestation in my locality.
Sir/Ma’am
Through the columns of your esteemed Newspaper I would like to report the unnecessary cutting down of green cover in my locality. This is to inform you that I am a resident of Ramnagar Colony, Kolkata-07. From the past few days I have been keeping track of the deforestation in my area. I repeatedly noticed that the people of the Municipal Corporation are cutting down trees from the park area constantly.
Innumerable complaints have been placed but there is no response from the local authority. Therefore I am bound to write to you. As a responsible citizen, it becomes my right to know where and why the trees are being cut. This is cause we all reside in the same environment.
Let us all pledge to protect our environment together.
