Sir,



                                                Sub Poor condition of historical monuments.

                I being a responsible citizen of free India, consider it my duty to attract public attention, through the esteemed columns of your prestigious newspaper, to the neglectful and miserable condition of historical monuments which are symbols of our past glory grandeur and are our national heritage. They are priceless records of our history, but have fallen victim to the criminal neglect by the officials. I had also brought it to the notice of Archeological Survey of India, Government of India, but there was no response. This callous indifference on the part of authorities concerned has compelled me to approach you through this letter.

Sir, if you personally visit some of the monuments like the Humayun Tomb, Tughlak Kila , Qutab Minar, etc. You will realise that they are losing their shape and are getting dilapidated day by day with the passage of time. Their walls are mouldering, their roofs are getting cracked, their bricks and stone pieces are losing plaster and top corners of walls have already crumbled. All is due to the lack of proper maintenance. We must realise that even the present will be past one day.

I was shocked to see the deteriorating condition of our monuments. I request you to oblige me by publishing this letter in your paper, so that the authorities concerned are awakened in time, and the priceless historical monuments are saved and preserved.



Yours truly

Sir,



Sub Provision for street lights on the road.

                Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the provision of street lights on the main road leading to Indira Nagar. I want to apprise that Indira Nagar is a posh colony of JDA with more than 1500 flats on both sides of the road.

The electricity board has installed poles on either side of the road to supply light to the residents, but just poles are not the electricity. The civic authority is lacking in providing basic amenities to the residents. During these days of winter, after seven, it is pitch dark. In addition to accidents, cases of thefts and robberies can also not be ruled out. Darkness may lead to any kind of mishappenings.

It may also be stated that many residents return to their homes at late hours in the night. The residents pay house tax to the Municipality regularly but facilities of street lights are denied to them.

The matter was taken up with the authorities time and again; every time mere assurances were given but the problem persists in the same way as it was. I hope that if the letter is published in your esteemed newspaper, the authorities shall be awakened from their slumber and the problem will be finally solved.

Yours truly

Letter to the editor of Indian Times drawing attention of the government officials to the problem of unavailability of a bus stop near your colony

Sir,



Sub Providing bus stops nearby the colony.

                Through the esteemed columns of your prestigious newspapers, I would like to draw the attention of the Government towards the problem of the lack of a bus stop in the area near Mayur Vihar Aparna Apartments.

These apartments are spread upto a radius of at least 4 km, and are situated on the main road of Mayur Vihar. One can notice that buses running on the main road for all places in Delhi/New Delhi at every five minutes.

But, it is rather strange to note that the Government has not provided enough bus stops to cover all the apartments and colonies, on the road. The residents have to walk more than 2 km to catch a local bus. Hiring of a rickshaw of a three wheeler is very costly for a common man. The chilly or the hot rough weather other puts the passengers in a great problem. This also wastes time, energy and stamina of the residents.

For lady passengers it is not advisable to walk long distances from the safety point of view. No financial burden will be passed on to the government by making more bus stops keeping in view the necessity and the convenience of the residents. Being a fully residential area, it is necessary to provide bus stops at all the stops at all the appropriate points in this area.

I hope the authorities would definitely consider our difficulty and provide enough bus stops for the convenience of the passengers. It will provide relief to all of us as moving long distances of about 2 km in winter and hot sun is very troublesome and tiresome.

Sub:-Poor maintenance of Public Park.



Sir,

                             

                Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I want to draw the attention of the authorities concerned the poor maintenance of a public park in our area.

Public parks are the lungs of the localities where residents come and refresh their tired and fatigue minds. But in our colony, the park is not well maintained or say not at all maintained. It suffers from the utter neglect of the authorities. The residents of nearby basti are using the area as a public convenience. Many rowdies create disturbance and do not help in the upkeep of the park has become the favorite halting place of stray cattle and dogs. Miscreants sit and gamble here in the road daylight. They in reality, the park has become a hub of activity for all types of evil characters.

If no immediate action is not taken, the park will turn into a devil’s den and would become a being cause of nuisance for the colony.

I hope the authorities concerned will take immediate steps in the matter.



Yours truly

Sir,

                I hereby submit to you a report on the flood situation in Ropar district of Haryana . Floods have become a common feature in our country during rainy season.



This time, it has affected many areas of Haryana but the situation in Ropar is the worst. Thousands of people have been rendered homeless. At least twenty-two persons are reported to have been drowned. Thousands of people have been marooned, owing to heavy rainfall. Two railway tracks have been badly damaged and many roads are under knee-deep water. Property worth crores, of rupees has been destroyed.

The people of the area are facing the calamity bravely. The Haryana Government is handling the situation on a war footing. The rescue and relief operations are going on in full swing. The medicine clothes and other necessary articles are being supplied to the flood-stricken people by the Government and voluntary organizations. Many boats have been pressed into service to rescue the marooned people.

The Chief Minister of Haryana is personally supervising the relief operations and has announced an outlay of Rs. 50 crores to resettle the affected people. Many voluntary organisations from neighboring Punjab and Delhi have sent relief materials to the affected people. The Government has exempted the farmers from payment of land revenue and postponed repayment of loans.

The situation now appears to be quite under control through most of the areas in the state are still submerged in water. A number of police and military teams have been maintaining round the clock vigil and strategic points. It is hoped that, in a week or so, there will be a marked improvement in the situation.

Sir,



I have conducted a survey of TV watching teenagers for almost six months. I noted a few important points which are universally applicable to all the youngsters who fall between the age group of thirteen and nineteen.

A few special traits and tendencies govern their minds. The teenagers generally select those TV programmes which are action oriented or have a love triangle. They prefer adventurous story serials full of love, romance and separation, detective episode, comics and some other progrmmes, like cartoon film etc. they do not relish things of lofty and sublime nature. They enjoy funny, imaginative, frivolous and boisterous programmes which can make them jump. They do not need things of intellectual nature.

I think these types of tendencies are not good for their real development. They are living in the worlds of their imagination and dreams. Our teenagers should be inspired to watch programmes connected with political, social, religious and economic issues. It is must for a healthy development of the teenagers. Parents should check children and try to discuss with them and quench their queries. Something radical should be done to raise the level of teenagers ‘thinking. In fact the parents can play a vital role in this matter.

I request you to publish this survey report in your esteemed leading daily and oblige.



Yours faithfully,
