Sir,
Sub: Dark Roads lead to Chain Snatching.
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern and anguish over the poor state of street lights in our colony. Almost all the street lights are not burning. After it gets dark, moving on the colony streets is unsafe and perilous. Many chain snatching incidents have happened owing to poor visibility on the roads. Even mobile phones and purse snatching cases have also been reported. We fear other antisocial activities to be on the rise.
Through the medium of your esteemed daily, I appeal to the concerned authorities in the municipal corporation to look into the matter and make the street lights functional again in the Nellikupam area.
I hope you will give space to my voice in your esteemed daily.
Thank you,
Raja
