Subject: Pollution in our city.
Sir:
I write this letter to you to express my deep concern over
the problem of pollution in our city, which is affecting the environment drastically.
As you already know ours is an industrial city. The dying mills release at
least 300 million liters of waste water into the Sutlej river on daily basis.
This waste water contains harmful chemicals like arsenic, cadmium,, mercury,
and chrome. These chemicals have already killed the aquatic life.
Moreover the smoke arising from the factory chimneys has
polluted the air badly. I want to draw the attention of the people as well as
the concerned authorities to the seriousness of the problem. The mills and
factory owners are violating the environmental laws by not treating the waste
water and the smoke before releasing it into the environment. The corrupt
environment officers are letting it happen just because of the hush-money they
receive from the culprit owners.
But we the residents are suffering. The environment authorities
responsible for preserving the environment must ensure the mills and factories
owners follow the environmental protection rules and regulations by properly
treating effluents and the toxic smoke in the pollution treatment plants
before releasing them into the environment.
Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to the
public to raise their voice against these unethical practices. I also appeal
the environment ministry to look into the matter and take immediate action
against the law breakers. I am hopeful my views will find suitable place in the
esteemed columns of your reputed daily.
Thanking
