Sir, The first and foremost reason for the price rise is due to black marketing and hoarding by the big tradders. They stok goods and create artificial scarcity in the retail markets. It has become a headache for all class of people. Where upper class people are struggling with the price rise middle and lower class people are beyond their purchasing power.

Road accidents are a frequent headline of newspapers. In rural areas, road accidents may have different causes like poor road conditions but in cities there is one reason which is the most critical one. The common reason of these fatal accidents is reckless driving. The Person driving put lives of passengers, pedestrians at risk as They do not have any regard for the traffic rules. Over-speeding, jumping red lights, overtaking from wrong side are commonplace. Sometimes they indulge in unnecessary competitions. In most of the cases they escape unpunished due to their social status and corrupt bureaucracy. Every year, large numbers of people die in road accidents. So the time has come to develop a movement against reckless driving.
       
So there fore I would like to request you to bring this issue into light so it could reach to our transport minister to look into the matter and take some necessary steps.
    Thanking you  
                                                                           Your's faithfully

Frequent power cut in our area is a very big problem and has become a headache now. The whole society and system are paralysed for the time being. We are spending our evening in dark. During this hot and humid season we are spending sleepless night. We can not use our gadget properly.

So there fore I would like to request you to bring this issue into light so it could reach to our power supply minister to look into the matter and take some urgent necessary steps.

Respected Sir/Madam
Most respectfully through the regular column in your esteemed daily I would like to draw attention of the authorities concerned towards the harmful causes of noise pollution in our locality.
               
Increasing of noise pollution is a big threat to the physical and mental  health and fitness of the people. If the noise pollution is allowed to go unchecked it causes a great damage to the health of the people. It also causes irritation, loss of sleep, rest and peace. Due to noise pollution students could not concentrate on studies. It affects the working efficiency of the people and causes loss of sense of hearing. Increasing the number of vehicles with high exhauster sound, playing of loud speakers are various factors. The factories which produces noise should be placed far away immediately. Loudspeakers should not be used after specific time. To eradicate noise pollution, authorities need public cooperation. Hence, public should be aware and cooperative against noise pollution.
             
So there fore, I would like to request you to bring this issue into light so it could reach to our government and administration to look into the matter and take immediate action against the acts which are responsible for noise pollution to relieve the people from harmful effects of noise pollution.
    Thanking you  
                                                                          Your's faithfully
