Subject: City under the attack of noise pollution
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the problem of rising noise levels and its subsequent harmful effects in the city.
Our ever-expanding city was already bearing the effects of air and water pollution, but recently, the people have also started to adopt the trend of enjoying their extravaganza with the loudest noise possible. Gone are the days when tourists used to enjoy the serenity of the city and calm themselves in the embrace of our quiet temples and mosques. Rather today, every block has some or other loudspeaker pumping their message in the atmosphere. Marriage processions and DJs during wedding spread the inharmonious music to everyone around, concerned or stranger, and disrupt the sleep and study periods of the elderly and students likewise.
If this menace is not put to control soon, our city shall perish in tourism and public health sector. An arrangement should be made to ensure marriages take place on the outskirts of the city. The police should act more responsibly and look into any complaint about noisy neighbours whenever they get a phone. I hope that after reading an article about the noise pollution of the city in your newspaper, the concerned authorities wake up from their slumber and take action accordingly.
Thank You
Yours sincerely

Subject: Chrysotile asbestos, CPCB’s Inventory of hazardous chemicals & Rotterdam Convention
Sir,
This is to draw your attention towards the volte face in matter of hazardous white chrysotile asbestos by the Indian delegation at the sixth meeting on UN's Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade which concluded on May 10, 2013.
I submit that Shri P.M. Ansari, Additional Director, Shri G. Thirumurthy, Assistant Environmental Engineer, Shri. Paritosh Kumar, Senior Environmental Engineer and Ms. Gayithri H.V, Junior Research Fellow were involved in the finalization of the Inventory under the overall supervision of Dr. B. Sengupta, Ex. Member Secretary, CPCB.
I wish to draw your attention towards this judgment. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its judgment dated January 21, 2011at paragraph 14
It is quite disturbing that at the UN conference India was made to join countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Zimbabwe and Vietnam to oppose the listing of chrysotile asbestos as a hazardous chemical despite the fact that CPCB’s inventory and other Indian laws mention it as a hazardous chemical. This position of the Indian delegation was totally illegitimate and illegal taken to protect corporate profit of asbestos industry at any human cost.
I understand that given the fact that the decision with regard to India’s position at the UN meeting involves several ministries, I urge you to ensure that the error ridden position articulated with regard to white chrysotile asbestos at the UN meet in Geneva is revisited to set matters right.
Therefore, I submit that the recommendation to list chrysotile asbestos will be put forward again for the 5th time, at the Conference of the Parties in 2015, as a remedy for the mistake committed you may consider recommending inclusion of chrysotile asbestos for the PIC list in writing to the Secretariat of the Rotterdam Convention.
I will happy to share more information in this regard
Thanking You
Yours faithfully
