Letter-writing on Pig Menace (To The Editor)

Suppose you are Maneesh/Maneesha, living at 550, Nai Sarak, Ludhiana. Write a letter to the editor of The Tribune, Chandigarh, expressing your views on the pig menace in towns and cities.

Chandigarh

Subject: Pig Menace

Sir/Madam,

I wish to draw the kind attention of the authorities concerned and the public in general to the pig menace spread almost in every town and city.

We all are well acquainted with PM Modi’s most popular campaign ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Newspapers update about the progress of this ‘Abhiyaan’ from time to time. No doubt, the people of the country are well-motivated to make it successful by their efforts.

But, in my humble opinion, we cannot ignore the problems caused by pigs in town and cities. They come in a platoon and spread dirt here and there. They feed themselves on dirty water and the eatables thrown in some empty plots. I know that some people are still uneducated about the ‘Swachhata Abhiyan. That is the reason why pigs keep on wandering in the localities. They not only spread dirt but also diseases through mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites a pig, it carries a very dangerous virus with it. After that, it bites human beings and spreads the disease called ‘Japanese encephalitis’. Moreover, pigs make their surroundings dirty. They should be kept in a pigsty and not be allowed to wander about here and there.

I hope that my views would certainly catch the attention of the authorities concerned and deal with the problem immediately. People are also requested not to throw eatables here and there.

Regards

Maneesh

Formal Letter on the improper use of loudspeakers in general (To The Editor)

Write a letter to the editor of a National Daily highlighting the improper use of loudspeakers in general.

520, Sawan Puri

The Editor

The Times of India

New Delhi

Subject: Improper Use of Loudspeakers

Dear sir/Madam,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the public and the authorities concerned to the noise pollution caused by the improper use of loudspeakers. I hope you will surely provide some space to my views.

The loudspeaker is one of the gifts given to us by science. These are used to magnify the sound so that it reaches human ears at some comfortable pitch.

But, we all are well aware of how this wonderful gift of science is being misused everywhere in our country.

The morning begins not with the chirping of birds, the crowing of a cock, but it begins with the blaring sound of the loudspeakers installed at the top of the buildings of worshipping places. In cities, it may be less in practice, but in villages, there is a lot of noise pollution. During the day also, we find much misuse of loudspeakers. At night, if there is a religious function, a marriage, and a reception party in some locality, then, no one can sleep there properly till midnight.

No one cares for the students who are to study. No one cares for the children, the old men and women, and the patients who are to take rest and sleep. There is a law for curbing the menace created by the improper use of loudspeakers. But nobody bothers about it.

I hope the points raised here are relevant in this context and these would certainly stir the sleeping conscience of the public in general and the authorities concerned.

Regards,

Mukesh Ahluwalia
