Subject : complaining about the improper drainage system
Sir,
I wish to draw your attention towards the pathetic condition of the drainage system in our district Nagpur. The drains are always overflowing and there is a foul smell in the locality.
Mosquitoes, and insects breed in this area, which is unhygienic and making life difficult for us.
During the monsoon season the situation gets bad to worse. Even a small downpour leads to clogging of drains and as a result all the streets are waterlogged. During Rainy seasons the garbage which piles in the corners of the road gets carried away with the water and is spread all across the roads.
This condition has also made life miserable for all those who stay on the ground floor as the rain water seeps into the houses. Most of the houses in our district are single stored, so most of us face this problem.
This water logging attracts mosquitoes and various other insects, due to which people are suffering from dengue, malaria and other diseases.
We have approached the local representatives. They have come over here to check the problem but they never return with any solution.
I have come know that in our neighboring districts they are not facing any kind of this problem as the entire sewage and drainage system has been changed. So, I would like to inform that the drainage system in our district is old and cracked which we people are fed up of. Kindly make it replaced with the new one.
I humbly request you to look into this matter and to bring a solution to our problems.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,

Subject: The menace of garbage heaps
Sir:
I write to you to express my deep anguish over the problem of garbage heaps lying unmanaged and uncleaned for many days in our locality. The municipality’s apathy to timely clean these heaps is responsible for this.
Mumbai is the financial capital of India; lots of tourists from other states as well as foreign countries visit it. These heaps of garbage near residential colonies and near roads leave a bad impact on them. These garbage heaps are a source of noxious stink and spreading of so many diseases.
There is another problem of mismanagement of garbage. Quite frequently the garbage man collects garbage of the colony and burns it near the park. This burning causes lots of inconvenience to the people living near the park.
This garbage has lots of plastic and other dangerous substances in it. When these substances are burnt toxic gases such as nitrogen oxide, heavy metals, particulates, and dioxin are released into the atmosphere. These pose a serious threat to the health of residents, especially the children and the elderly. Through the columns of your esteemed daily I appeal to people and concerned authorities to look into the matter and take implement some stricter laws to speedy disposal of the garbage heaps. The municipality must introduce proper and scientific garbage management system. Looking forward to your cooperation in this regard.
Yours truly,
Samarth
