Subject : Poor maintenance of the Public Park.
Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to express my serious concern on the poor maintenance of the public park of our locality. The public park of our area is in a pathetic condition. The gardeners are not regular and the plants are not pruned regularly, as a result of which, the park gives an ugly look. The park has become a thorough farefor stray animals as there is not any gate at the entrance of the park. All the anti social elements gather in the park in the evening making it difficult for the women folk to have a walk in the evening. Our regular complaints to the local authorities have failed to bring any change in the situation.
Therefore, I would like to request the concerned higher authorities to improve the condition of the park for the convenience of the local residents.
I shall be highly obliged to you for publishing my letter in your newspaper.
Yours Sincerely
Himanshi Jaggi

SUB : Regarding cases of road rage.
Sir
Kindly give me a privilege by granting a little space in the columns of your popular daily so that I may convey my concerns about the rampant cases of road rage. Hardly any day passes when we do not hear about the shocking incidence of road rage across the country. Is it not very disgusting to see people turning violent over a trivial issue like overtaking or a minor scratch in vehicles? In a civilized society, it never behoves us to be intolerant and impatient with our fellow human beings. We must come out of the prison of inhumanity and our inflated ego. Let us respect the sensitivity of life and its decorum because it is so precious.
I hope my words will be appreciated and no more cases of road rage will be seen in future.
Thanking you
Yours truly
(Seema/Shubham)
