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.



Thanking you.

Yours truly,
Anika
