Subject: Poor Drainage

Sir,

I write to your reputed self to express my concern over the

issue of poor drainage in the city, especially during the rainy season, which

causes much inconvenience to the residents. This rainy season our city had

copious rainfall. The entire state was flooded. Our city was no exception. You

will be shocked to know even after almost a month of the rainfall, the

rainwater has not been drained. The simple reason behind this flooding of the

city roads is poor drainage system. The high areas are clear and clean. The

rain water has been drained from there. The problem is with the low areas, where the drainage system has been faulty. The PWD department’s inefficiency has been exposed. Many mishaps owing to the water on roads also take place quite frequently.

The stagnated water has been causing serious health issues.

Malaria, dengue, chikungunya, apart from stink and travelling problems have

made the life of Shastri Nagar residents literal hell. The concerned

authorities’ apathy to the ongoing problems is outrageously shocking. I appeal to your kind self to look into the matter and expedite the repairing of the

faulty drainage system. Hoping for prompt response.

Yours truly,

Kunal Sharma
