Sir/Madam
I, Kalyan Sood, a responsible citizen of Global Village, Jaknet Nagar, would like to bring your
attention to the lack of pavements on sides of all main roads. This is a cause of concern because
it is posing a threat to lives of pedestrians.
Also, high-speed vehicles move on the muddy tracks which causes a lot of pollution. Last
month, five pedestrians lost their lives and more than twenty were reported injured due to
mishaps on the main roads. The increased pollution due to the vehicular movement on dirt
tracks is causing respiratory trouble to the residents of the area. Several cases of asthma and
broncho-related diseases are reported on a daily basis.
I would like to request the authorities, through the prestigious columns of your publication, to
get the required pavements on the sides of the main roads in the city. This will act as a great
relief to pedestrians and residents of the area.
Thanking you

of our country.
The craft mela is displaying a diversity of handicrafts, handlooms and cultural fabric of India.
However, we need to support indigenous art and craft by visiting the mela and even buying the
items on display. Several stall owners were dejected at the poor turnout of visitors and some
did not even make a single sale at the mela. This will act as a deterrent and prevent them from
continuing the rich crafts of our country.
I would like to request you to highlight and popularize the craft mela through the prestigious

craftsmen who have put up stalls.

Several times I see pedestrians trying to cut across traffic to cross the road when subways have

cross busy roads. One reason for their reluctance in using the subways could be lack of
maintenance. Accumulation of garbage, stagnant water and lack of proper lighting could be
preventing pedestrians from using them.
