Subject: Complaint against  water logging.

I am Raj, a resident of Dharma Colony. I am writing this letter to bring to your kind notice that the residents of the area are facing a lot of problems due to water logging. Every year in the monsoon season, the area gets filled with water as the drainage system gets choked. 

We have requested the area committee many times, but the situation is still the same. The residents’ lives have become miserable as many water - borne diseases have spread. All the houses are submerged, and we are facing a tough time. 

Please print my letter in your latest edition inorder to spread awareness.

Yours Sincerely

Rani Kumari.
