Sub: Poor Drainage in rainy season.

Sir

I write to you to express my concern over the issue of poor drainage in the city, which causes much inconvenience to the residents.  The problems of the residents become exceedingly serious. This rainy season our city had copious rainfall. The entire state was flooded. Our city was no exception. You will be shocked to know even after almost a month of the rainfall, the rainwater has not been drained. The simple reason behind this flooding of the city roads is poor drainage system. The high areas are clear and clean. The rain water has been drained from there. The problem is with the low areas, where the drainage system has been faulty. The PWD department’s inefficiency has been exposed.

The stagnated water has been causing serious health issues. Malaria, dengue, chikanguniya, apart from stink and travelling problems have made the life of Shastri Nagar residents literal hell. The state government’s apathy to the ongoing problems is outrageously shocking. Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I appeal to the concerned central government ministry to look into the matter and expedite the relief measures for the affected residents. I am hopeful you will give suitable place to my letter in your esteemed daily.

Yours truly,

Mohan Sharma

Dear Sir,

                         Sub.: Action to be taken with regard to drains

It has been a month since rains ravaged this city.  It happened in 2004 and now, in 2017.  I’m surprised by the lethargic attitude of our government. 

Last year when floods attacked our place, government gave an excuse of saying that Chennai had never experienced this kind of rain so, they were not prepared.  Even after two years, the government is still not prepared to handle natural calamities shows their indifferent attitude towards the people.

It had stopped raining one month ago and our place is still clogged with waters, which has no means of draining itself.  Our drainage system is so poor that we have to leave it to nature to dry the water by itself.  Till then, we will have to suffer disease caused by water, stink spread by the gutter water and get sores on the foot by wading through the dirty water.  It is a sad part that our children are confined to their residence because of this.

We request you to publish this in your newspaper so that, our state and central ministers wake-up to take some action against this.

Thanking you,

Your’s faithfully,

 

(ROHAN)
