Subject: Need for people’s movement for clean Yamuna

Sir,

I am a member of NGO Velugu. I am writing to you in order to highlight the deteriorating

condition of the river Krishna.

The city of Vijayawada is getting contaminated water from the river Krishna. The residents are to be blamed for this. They pollute the river with garbage, sewage, and filth. The river water is full of bacteria, plastic, chemicals, and other waste materials. It is unfit for consumption.

The people have been demanding a Water Treatment Plant. The authorities have not yet

responded to the repeated requests.

I request you to highlight the problem in your newspaper and arouse public interest. We all need to get together in order to get the plant set up in the area.

Yours sincerely

Rekha G

Subject: Frequent power breakdown

Dear Sir,

Through the esteemed column of your prestigious newspaper, I would like to draw your kind attention towards frequent power breakdown in our locality.

Due to multiple power breakdowns in a day, people are facing a lot of difficulties. Even after

being a regular taxpayer, we are living a life of obstructions. In the modern day world when each and everything is totally dependent on electricity, we are left with no option but to wait. Till the.power breakdown continues, our lives stop. We feel helpless when our daily routines get.destroyed. Some people have started using generators meanwhile, adding to noise pollution and.air pollution as well.

Many young people are running online businesses. Charging their appliances is the main issue.they face. People running mother dairies and bakeries are totally clueless about how to keep.their refrigerators cool for so long without electricity. In summer, high temperatures make our.lives hell without fans and coolers working. It has now become totally unbearable to live in such unacceptable conditions. People have complained about it several times but to no avail. Kindly acknowledge the matter for the sake of smooth functioning of people’s lives. You are requested to do the needful as soon as possible.

Thank You

Yours Truly
