Subject: Environment degradation and pollution in your locality
Sir:
I am writing this letter to you to express my deep concern over the problem of environment degradation and pollution in your locality, 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 Yamuna River on daily basis. This waste water contains harmful chemicals like arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and chrome. These chemicals have already killed the aquatic life. The ground-water has also been made toxic.
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.
But we the residents are suffering. We are breathing toxic air and drinking toxic water. Everything needs to be taken care of. In order to make things better, strict environment protection rules should be imposed and followed. In each colony enough number of trees should be planted. The factories should be shifted far away from residential areas.
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 appeal to people to come forward to save our environment from the curse called pollution. I am hopeful my views will find suitable place in the esteemed columns of your reputed daily.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Raj
Secretary
