Subject: Rampant Thefts and Chain-snatching Incidents
Dear Sir:
I am writing this letter to express my deep concern over the nuisance of increasing crime rate in our locality, Mayur Vihar Alwarpet Chennai, and the police’s lackadaisical approach to the gravity of the situation. The incidents jewellery and purse snatching, mobile snatching, eve-teasing are on the increase. My sister became victim of chain-snatching on July 5, 2021 at 11:30 a.m. near the Bus Stand. Two scooterists did it in front of all the people waiting for the bus.
There is an atmosphere of insecurity and fear in the entire locality. No resident dares to go even during the broad daylight, not to mention going out after the dark. The most worrying factor is most of these crimes are being done by the teenagers. These crimes are the fallout of their unregulated and unmonitored overexposure to the internet.
It really pains to see young teenagers being caught by police. Quite ironically, they belong to families with respectable background. Being elders it is our moral responsibility to prevent the youngsters from going astray. The schools, the parents, and the government must come together to solve this problem. I hope the concerned authorities will look into the matter and take immediate measures to nip this evil in the bud. I am hopeful that you will help me in sensitizing the concerned authorities, people and organizations by publishing this letter in your reputed daily.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Anu
