Dear Sir/Madam
This is to draw your attention to the extremely unhygienic and insanitary conditions prevailing in our locality. Prabhu Nagar which is situated near the old highway bridge.
The roads in our locality are full of pot holes and ditches which have become a breeding ground of mosquitoes, the drains which have been dug are now overflowing with filth and waste water from the houses of the locality. Even the carcasses of the stray animals lie rotting beside the roads for many days and numerous calls to the municipality offices go attended. The garbage lies rotting and smelling in the dumpsters for weeks on end the municipal garbage trucks fail to turn up.
This disregard and negligence of the authorities have made our locality a potential health bomb waiting to blow off and let loose a health hazard.
You are requested to look into the matter immediately. A visit to our locality will help you in assessing the situation correctly.
Hoping for a timely action from your end. A concerned citizen.
Shyam Singh.
