M. G. Road,

The Editor
Navbharat Times

Subject: Excessive use of Gadgets responsible for teenagers' health issues.

Sir,

I would like to voice my concern about the negative consequences of excessive gadget use on teenagers' health through the columns of your prestigious daily.

Technology has taken over every aspect of human life, the most visible being mobile phones, which have had a profound impact on the lives of all people, particularly young people. Though these devices provide us with everything at the touch of a button, they can also be hazardous to our health. Addiction to mobile phones has turned teenagers into couch potatoes and exposed them to undesirable content. The increased usage of cell phones has led to sleep loss, which can lead to obesity. Apart from that, it completely isolates them from society.

The easiest way to address this issue is to encourage outdoor activities such as gardening, walks with dogs, meeting with friends, and so on, as well as spending quality time with family. Children should take part in creative activities. They can be assigned varied chores to help them develop their minds. Furthermore, they must engage in regular activity.

I hope my letter will find a place in your newspaper.

Thank you,

Yours truly,
Mala

Sir,

I request you to publish the following letter in your daily to address an important issue which needs immediate redressal.

During week ends motorcyclists are seen racing on the East Coast Road and the Old Mahabalipuram road of Chennai. The amateur racers are risking their own lives and of the public as well. They are fearless and irresponsible, not knowing the price of human lives. Risking others and their lives for their pleasure is highly condemnable.

Even school students indulge in such activities and cause fatal accidents. The racers have started occupying the lanes and streets of busy localities. As such, the violation of traffic rules often results in loss of young lives. Such reckless riders who violate traffic rules should be punished severely. 

As a responsible citizen of the society, I request the authorities concerned to take appropriate measures to put an end to this menace.

Yours truly,

Srivatsav
