A letter to the Editor of an English daily describing the situation, expressing your concern and suggesting remedies.
Explanation:
Examination Hall,
City A.B.C
Date: 12-07-2020
Subject: Complaint about the poor condition of road s and streets.
Dear Editor,
Time of India
I'm writing this letter to complain about the condition of streets and roads in our locality. Whenever it rains heavily the streets are stagnant with rainwater and mosquitoes breed over them. Mosquito breeding is causing several health problems such as malaria and dengue.
Moreover, the roads are broken, and there potholes which are the house of flies and mosquitoes breeding. We are suffering a lot from the last three years.
Through your editor, I want to draw the attention of concerned authorities.
I hope they will take immediate action to solve the problem.
Yours faithfully,
X.Y.Z
Science, not hyperbole
Apropos the editorial, “Not a time to panic” (March 13), it is imperative to take action against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but we are fearing an apocalypse and reacting accordingly in sheer madness. Conferences and public events have been cancelled, weddings postponed and schools have been closed fearing the spread of the virus. Businesses did quite well out of the disease. The sales of respiratory masks, hand sanitisers, anti-fever medicines and similar drugs have skyrocketed. If we are to avoid the so-called ‘coronavirus apocalypse’, we need to be guided by evidence, science and collaboration, not hype, hyperbole and impulse.
S.S. Paul,
