Subject : The insanitary condition of City Streets. 


Respected sir, 

I shall be much obliged if you allow me a little space in your esteemed paper to draw the attention of the authorities to the insanitary condition of our City Streets. Nearly all the drains are blocked with rubbish and the feel the water is not allowed to flow causing foul smell.

I would like to suggest that the streets should be provided with more drains and the existing ones properly covered and cleaned. some more dust beans are to be provided and placed in different parts so that the people may be stopped from throwing the waste on the streets. there should be daily cleaning of the roads. The municipal authorities should pay attention to the problems of the area. 

Hoping my suggestions will be taken up and acted on.


Yours truly, 

Rahul Patil
