Subject: Urgent
Attention Required to Water Shortage in ZK Colony
Sir/Madam
Through the
columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the
concerned authorities of Guwahati Municipal Corporation about water scarcity in
our locality.
In our colony, shortage
of water has been affecting the residents for the past month. The water supply
has become erratic, with some areas receiving little to no water for days. This
situation is particularly troublesome during the early morning hours and late
evenings when most families require water for daily tasks like cooking,
cleaning, and bathing.
Water is
supplied for ten minutes only in the morning and for the same time in the
evening. We have to depend on this water. For the rest of the day, the taps
remain dry. Even the quality of the water is very unhygienic. This kind of
unhygienic water causes diseases such as typhoid and jaundice. It is feared
that they may break out as an epidemic if the quality of the water isn’t
improved. Furthermore, purchasing water daily is causing economic crisis in our
area. This situation is affecting immense stress in all of us.
Many
representations have been made to the authorities, but all in vain. We hope
that the concerned authorities will take immediate steps to ensure adequate
supply of good quality water. Therefore, as a resident of our locality, I
request the authority to take actions as soon as possible so that people don’t
have to face problems.
Yours sincerely

condition of roads in our locality in Mirza
Sir/Madam
Through the
columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the
concerned authorities towards the poor condition of roads in our locality.
For several
months, the roads have been in a terrible state, with numerous potholes,
cracks, and uneven surfaces, making it extremely difficult for vehicles and
pedestrians to move around safely. They have not been repaired for quite
sometimes.
The situation
worsens during the monsoon season when waterlogged potholes create additional hazards.
Not only do they slow down the traffic but also cause several accidents. As a
result, we have been witnessing huge traffic jams in peak hours. The main roads
that connect us to the outer world, are not cemented well and narrow. It
becomes troublesome to walk on because of manholes. The vehicles have to halt
to adjust with the roads. People even cannot drive their vehicle properly.
The poor road
conditions have caused frequent accidents. Moreover, school children and
elderly people face great difficulty navigating these dangerous roads, risking
their safety daily.
We have tried
to bring this problem to be noticed by the concerned authorities. However, all
our efforts have gone in vain so far. Therefore, as a resident of our locality,
I request the authority to take necessary actions as soon as possible so that
people don’t have to suffer anymore.

Study Hours
Sir/Madam
Through the
columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned
authorities towards the erratic power supply, particularly during study hours
in our area.
The residents
of our locality have to undergo untold sufferings due to power supply. In
summer, the helpless residents spend sleepless nights due to the motion of the
electric fan is in rest all the times. Students are the highly sufferer.
Whenever, they sit at the table for study, the light goes off. As a result,
their minds get disturbed and do not want to sit for study until the light
comes.
Not only that,
there are growing thieves in our locality by taking chance of frequent power
cut. Many people of our area depend on electric motor to draw water, but due to
load shedding, taps remain dry all the day and we, the people of our locality
can’t use water for our basic needs too. Even when there is power supply, the
voltage of the electricity is very low. Because of this, electrical appliances
get damaged.
We have tried
to bring this problem to be noticed by the concerned authorities. However, all
our efforts have gone in vain at all. Therefore, as a resident of our locality,
I request the authority to take necessary steps as soon as possible so that
people of our area don’t have to face the same problem again.
Yours sincerely

Reckless driving Reckless Driving in Duliajan
Sir/Madam
Through the
columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the
concerned authorities towards reckless driving in our locality. The increasing
reckless driving in the roads, leading to countless accidents everyday.
In recent
months, there has been a marked increase in traffic violations, with many
drivers speeding through narrow lanes, ignoring traffic signals, and engaging
in dangerous overtaking. This reckless driving has put the lives of pedestrians
and other road users at risk, leading to frequent accidents.
The most
worried aspect is that the parents’ allowing immature children to drive
high-end vehicles on road, causes maximum accidents. The recent death of two
school children in a road accident terrified the area. Apart from this, the
traffic police appear to be lazily indifferent to the problem. Even after being
caught, the culprits are not punished of their political and monetary
connection. Overtaking and snatching passengers are two major aspects to
concern. Hardly a day passes without any
accident. The death toll is increasing day by day.
Therefore, I
appeal to the concerned that license should be issued after thorough testing.
The D.T.C. should periodic trainings of its drivers. The traffic police should
be strict against those who are involved in reckless driving. Campaign
regarding road safety should be made periodically. If the necessary steps
aren’t taken, the road will become veritable killer roads.
Yours sincerely

Subject: Noise Pollution in Fancy Bazar and Its Impact
Sir/Madam
Through the columns
of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned
authorities towards the increased issue of noise pollution in our locality.
In our area, noise
pollution has become a major cause to concern. It becomes irksome, leads loss
of sleep, rest and peace. Loud noise is harmful to physical and mental health
of people. Frequent loud noise disturbed working efficiency of the people.
Persistent noise pollution helps to loss of sense of hearing. Due to noise
pollution, students are disturbed and they are unable to concentrate on studies
and even suffer due to lack of sleep.
If the noise
pollution is not controlled and allowed to go unchecked, residents will have to
undergo a lot of troubles. Large number of vehicles on the roads, increasing
number of factories, construction work, loudspeakers used on various occasions,
rock and pop music etc. are the significant factors responsible for causing
noise pollution. Noise control laws are highly violated.
I request the
authorities to enforce strict noise control laws. Lastly, I hope the concerned
authorities will take adequate actions against this issue which affects the
whole population of the area.

Sir/Madam
Through the
columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the
concerned authorities towards the insensitive use of loudspeaker during
festival in our locality.
In our area,
the insensitive usage of loudspeaker has become a major cause to concern. It
becomes irksome, leads loss of sleep, rest and peace. Sensitive loudspeaker is
harmful to physical and mental health of people. Frequent loud noise disturbed
working efficiency of the people. Persistent noise pollution helps to loss of
sense of hearing. Due to the use of loud speaker, students are disturbed and
they are unable to concentrate on studies and even suffer due to lack of sleep.
If the usage is
not controlled and allowed to go unchecked, residents will have to undergo a
lot of troubles. It is the time for students to go through the various kinds of
exams but burdened by the noise of the loudspeakers. Festival and religious
events are continually being organized by keeping the volume of the speaker
high which is responsible for causing noise pollution also. People can’t sleep
well after spending a hard day. Noise control laws are highly violated.
I request the
authorities to enforce strict laws against these loudspeakers. Lastly, I hope
the concerned authorities will take adequate actions against this issue which
affects the whole population of the area.

Violation of traffic rules in our locality in Duliajan
Sir/Madam
Through the
columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the
concerned authorities towards the frequent violation of traffic rules in our
locality. Countless accidents and disregard for pedestrian crossings by the
frequent traffic rules violators should be come into light.
There is not a
single day that we don’t hear of accidents caused by reckless driving. Most of
the buses and lorries are driven very recklessly at a great speed violating
traffic rules through the crowded
streets. Not only this behavior puts all road users in danger, but also
a major source of inconvenience for those who follow the rules.
The constant
honking and chaos created by these violators make it difficult to walk on
roads. There is a
chance of causing
accident in every moment.
Due to their ignorance, innocent people lose their
lives. The danger is not only to the pedestrians but, sometimes the buses and
lorries collide with other vehicles causing severe injuries to the passengers.
So, such violators must be checked.
Therefore,
through the column of your widely circulated newspaper daily, I want to draw
the attention of the government in taking necessary measures to reduce the
frequent violation of traffic rules in our locality.

Subject: The Evils of
Ragging in Educational Institutions
Sir/Madam
Through
the columns of your esteemed daily, I
am writing to express my concern regarding the widespread practice of ragging
in various educational institutions. Despite strict laws and regulations
against it, ragging continues to be a serious problem affecting countless
students, particularly freshers. This practice has turned into a harmful and dangerous
activity that causes significant emotional, psychological, and sometimes
physical harm to students.
Many juniors, especially those who are new to college life,
are subjected to severe humiliation and even physical abuse in the name of
ragging. The negative impact on their mental health is profound, with cases of
depression, anxiety, and, in some tragic instances, suicides being reported.
The fear and trauma caused by ragging affect their academic performance and
personal well-being.
It is high time that educational institutions take stronger
and more effective measures to prevent ragging. Strict anti-ragging policies
must be enforced, and a zero-tolerance approach should be adopted. Moreover,
there should be continuous awareness campaigns and counselling sessions to
educate students about the adverse effects of ragging.
Therefore, through the column of your widely
circulated newspaper daily, I want to draw the attention of the government and
concerned authorities in taking necessary measures against ragging, and I trust that it
will contribute to building a safer and more supportive environment for
students across educational institutions.

Subject: A Plea for Immediate Action Against Illicit Liquor
and Dangerous Chemicals
Sir/Madam
Through the columns of your esteemed
daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards
the issues that are
causing untold suffering to the people in our region, particularly the rampant
sale of illicit liquor and the dangers posed by toxic chemicals like anthrax.
These problems not only affect the physical well-being of the community but are
also eroding the social fabric.
Illicit liquor is freely available in
many parts of our area, leading to an increase in alcoholism and related health
issues. The local authorities seem to be turning a blind eye to the illegal
activities, and as a result, the youth are falling prey to these dangerous
substances. Many people have lost their lives or are suffering from long-term
health conditions due to consuming unregulated and toxic liquor.
Furthermore, the recent reports about
deadly chemicals, such as anthrax, being sold and used in various products have
left the community in fear. It’s a matter of utmost urgency that the
authorities take swift and stringent measures to control the sale of such
harmful substances and protect the people from these looming threats.
I urge the concerned authorities to
take immediate action against the production and sale of illicit liquor and
harmful chemicals. Only with combined effort from the government, health
agencies, and the public can we hope to eradicate these dangers from our
society.
Thank you for giving attention to this
serious issue.
Yours faithfully,

Subject: Rising
Prices of Essential Commodities in North Lakhimpur
Respected
Sir/Madam,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the
attention of the concerned authorities about the increasing prices of essential
commodities in our area. As a resident of North Lakhimpur, I have noticed that
the cost of daily necessities like rice, vegetables, cooking oil, and fuel has
gone up significantly in recent months.
The rising prices are affecting everyone, but the poor and middle-class
families are suffering the most. Many families are struggling to afford even
basic meals, and this situation is causing a lot of stress and hardship. This
has made it difficult for ordinary people, especially those with limited
incomes, to manage their household expenses.
I believe the government should take immediate steps to control these
price hikes. Measures like increasing the supply of goods, reducing taxes on
essential items, and cracking down on hoarding and black marketing could help
bring prices down. Public awareness campaigns about fair pricing and consumer
rights might also be useful.
I hope your newspaper will highlight this issue so that the authorities
take notice and act quickly. It is important to address this problem before it
becomes even more severe. So, I request
the authority to take immediate measures to step down the prices.
Yours
sincerely,
Manab

Need for Responsible Waste Management in Bylane-2
Respected
Sir/Madam,
Through the
columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned
authorities about the significant issue of improper garbage disposal in our
city, which has become a major environmental and public health concern.
Despite efforts
by municipal authorities, heaps of unattended waste can be seen on streets,
near drains, and even in residential areas, leading to clogged sewers, foul
smells, and the spread of diseases. Animals roaming through garbage and plastic
waste choking water bodies further worsen the situation.
The root of the
problem lies in a lack of awareness and civic responsibility. Many residents continue
to mix biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste or dump garbage carelessly
instead of using designated bins. While municipal waste collection exists,
irregular services and insufficient segregation facilities discourage proper
disposal.
To address
this, a multi-pronged approach is needed. Public awareness campaigns through
media, schools, and community programs can educate citizens on waste
segregation, composting, and recycling. Municipal authorities must ensure
timely waste collection and impose penalties for littering.
I hope your newspaper will highlight this issue so that the authorities take notice and act quickly. It is important to address this problem before it becomes even more severe. So, I request the authority to take immediate measures to step down the issue. A cleaner city is not just the government’s duty but every resident’s responsibility.
Yours
sincerely,
Kamal
