Subject: Utter Neglect of the Two Main Parks in the Locality
Sir/Madam,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities and
express my concerns regarding the problems arising due to utter neglect of the two main parks in Sunlight Enclave
both of which are visible from my house.
The caretaker and gardener assigned by the horticulture department are inefficient in doing their jobs. As a result,
the trees, grass as well as the bushes remain untrimmed. The garden too is not properly tended to because of which
there aren’t many flowers to please our senses. Needless to say, the local authorities have failed to do their duties of
looking after the two main parks, and now they have virtually been taken over by undesirable elements, who are often
seen involved in substance abuse. Many residents have complained about the nuisance they create for the park-goers
under the influence of alcohol. However, no action has been taken against these anti-social elements. These parks
used to be a sight for the sore eyes because they were so well maintained and beautiful. I regret to inform you that
because of the above mentioned reasons the residents have stopped going to the park.
The concerned authorities must take adequate action immediately to restore the two main parks of Sunlight Enclave
to their old glory. It must hire responsible people to tend to the parks and the gardens and keep a check on their
maintenance by paying surprise visits. They should appoint two security guards on 24×7 basis who must be alert
on duty. Only then the undesirable elements will be prevented from entering the parks.
I hope I have been able to put my concerns and views across in this letter and that required actions will be taken by
the concerned authorities at the earliest.
Thank you
Yours sincerely

Subject : Water crisis in New Colony
Respected Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards
the problem of water scarcity in our locality.
It is still early summer and the residents are already facing acute water shortage in the area. The supply starts at
7 : 30 a.m. and cuts off at 8 : 30 a.m in the morning and is restored only for half an hour in the evening between
5 : 00 p.m. to 6 : 30 p.m. Since the timings are erratic, many people, especially, the working couples are unable to store
water. Frequent complaints to the Jal Board haven’t yielded any result as the authorities express their helplessness
saying that one of the tanks of the Hyderpur Water Treatment plant is under repair and has been shut down for a
month or so thereby affecting the water supply in the area. But it is nearly one and a half months since the problem
began, yet there is no respite for the residents.
The Jal Board should, in the meantime, make provisions for water tankers at different hours of the day. Also, measures
must be taken to expedite the repair work.
Thank you
Yours sincerely
Bobby
