Subject- Highlighting about water logging problems in Delhi during monsoon season
Sir,
Through your esteemed newspaper I want to draw the attention of concern authorities towards the problem of water logging in Delhi during every monsoon season.
It was a bit odd to see parts of many streets and roads in Delhi being waterlogged just after a few hours of intermittent rains a few days ago. This shows a major problem with the drainage system in the city. Delhi gets rains like this only for few weeks in a year during every month. But even then the city could not cope with it. The situation was especially bad on the roads below some flyovers. Many drivers had to abandon their cars after being stranded in pools of water. Waterlogging refers to the saturation of soil with water. When new roads are being built, especially in low-lying areas, it is important that a proper drainage system is put in place so that water is quickly drained in case of rain. As being of a capital of India, it is incongruous to see flooded roads after a spell of rain.
Every year the heavy rains make some parts of the city to suffer from waterlogging. The rainwater infrastructure, if it exists at all, is not sufficient to guarantee the drainage of the water so that streets in low-lying areas get inundated. Roads are blocked leading to traffic jams, pedestrians have to wade through flooded streets and especially the urban poor, living in slums or squatters have their homes often damaged by the water, which may take several days to recede. But waterlogging happens everywhere, whether in rich or in poor neighborhoods. Every year newspaper’s weather report informed about the exact date when the rains are expected to start and whether the monsoon has brought more or less rain than in the years before in spite of that concerned authorities failed to manage the situation.

Subject:- Complaining About Dangerous Situation Of pit holes due to monsoon not repaired
Sir,
I would like to throw light on the subject of dangerous situation of pit holes caused due to monsoon which are yet to be repaired by the authorities through your newspaper.
Open main pits are really dangerous for everyone. If may cause severe accident any time. It is, in fact too dangerous for the innocent children because after failing down, they can’t get out of it and as such they are sunk in that black, stinking water. Open pits that the rain has caused are also dangerous in rainy season as these holes can’t be located due to running of stagnant water.
I would request the concerned authorities to take necessary action in this regard.
Thanks.
Yours truly,
