Subject: Problems of traffic jam during rush hours

Dear Sir:

I write to your good self to express my concern over the

problems of excessive traffic faced by commuters during peak hours every day.

The roads of the city have become so crowded with vehicles that long traffic

jams are everyday affair now. These long traffic jams cause so much of loss to

the nation. Millions of working hours are wasted every day because of these

traffic jams. Fuel worth millions of rupees gets wasted by vehicles stuck up in

these jams. People’s health is also under attack from the pollution caused by

these vehicles. The irritation caused by these jams also leads to many

aggressive confrontations among the commuters. Students also incur heavy loss

of studies as these jams don’t let them reach to their schools and colleges in

time.

Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to the

state and central governments to look into the matter. The city is in dire need

of an advanced Metro train facility. The municipal transport department can

also commence more intra-city electrical buses. The Metro and the electrical

buses will considerably help in reducing the traffic congestion on roads. Apart

from the above mentioned measures, widening of roads and keeping the roads free

for commuters can also help in reducing the problems of commuters. Kindly give

my views enough space in your esteemed daily. Thanking you.

Yours truly,

Gibran
