Sub: Deplorable sanitary conditions

Sir

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I am compelled to express my resentment and dismay at the deplorable sanitary conditions prevailing in our area. I am a resident of Memari, Burdwan. The area is hardly suitable for human habitation. 

First things first, the number of sweepers employed in this area don’t meet the demands of the residents. As a result, heaps of garbage is piled up in the lanes. The drains are open and hence, they get blocked very often. Water-logging is another serious problem in the area. Water starts stagnating and becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects. During the summer and the rainy season, the residents suffer from water-borne diseases, like cholera, malaria and dysentery.   

 In spite of repeated reminders, the concerned authorities have been sleeping over the problem. The number of safari karamcharies must be increased. Water-logging demands prompt attention. All such steps will surely improve the sanitary conditions of the area and make it a pleasant place to live in.

Thanking you,

                                                                                         Yours sincerely,

                                                                                         Arman (your name)

                   (Your Address)

Khanro (Monosatala) ,Memari, Burdwan
