Letter to editor:
From: X.Y.Z
To: Editor of Delhi voice
Dear Sir,
Hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to bring your attention to great issue we are facing in these days. Every year, by the end of October, the farmers in Haryana and Punjab set paddy growth
blazing to prepare ground for the next crop. In the process they destruct the soil quality and cause
heavy ponation. There hangs a thick blanket of smoke in the air over Haryana, Punjab and Delhi
making it difficult to breathe for all. The uncontrolled burning of paddy stubbles by Punjab's
farmers has again put the health of residents in the National Capital Region at risk. It is very poor condition. The government must have to take steps to solve this issue. I am requesting you to raise the issue. That’s very kind of you.
Regards,
Hope it helped.............
