Answer:

Shivaji Nagar
Pune

The Editor
Jan Chetna
Pune

Subject: concern about the increase in number of road mishaps

Sir/Madam

I, XYZ, a responsible citizen of Pune, would like to bring your attention to the rising number of
road mishaps in my neighbourhood. The roads are becoming a death trap in recent years.

The root-cause of these collisions appears to be irresponsible and hasty driving. People
nowadays live in a mechanized world and are usually in a rush. The speed-barriers and
accident-prone-area-warnings are ignored. They are not concerned regarding their wellbeing or
the regulations of the road. Another factor contributing to these collisions is the growth in the
number of automobiles on the road. Today’s youth yearn for their own automobile. The majority
of risky driving is done by young people who are also reckless drivers.

I would like to request the authorities, through the prestigious columns of your publication, to
take strict and appropriate action against lawbreakers. Through public awareness programmes,
make people aware about traffic rules, the significance of speed-barriers, and speed restrictions,
so that roads become a safe place for everyone who uses them.

Yours sincerely
XYZ
Q2.People have adapted to wearing face masks as a ‘new normal’. But most of them do
not know how to dispose of them properly. Spread awareness regarding the disposal of
protective masks by writing a letter to an editor of a popular newspaper.

Answer:

Airport Road
New Delhi

12th June 2022

The Editor
The Hindustan Times
New Delhi

Subject: An appeal to raise concern about the improper disposal of protective masks

Sir/Madam

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to create awareness regarding the
disposal of protective masks. I want to inform you that face masks, which are widely used for
safety against Covid-19, are being discarded in inappropriate locations by a segment of the
population.

Face masks are being worn by a growing number of individuals to be safe from the disease, but
disposing them away anywhere is not acceptable as it can cause many health related as well as
environmental issues. People dump these masks carelessly in places like roadsides,
pavements, gardens, etc. The elastic bands on these can pose a death threat for the animals
who mindlessly chew them. Also, these are a hub of germs and microbes and can spread
infections. Proper disposal of face masks is crucial for prevention of spread of diseases.

I would like to request the residents, through the columns of your prestigious publication, to stop
careless discarding of their used masks. The government agencies should sensitize people
regarding this issue.

Yours sincerely
ABC
