Subject: Pollution as a threat to the rivers of our nation
Sir/Madam
This is to draw your attention to the grave concern that the pollutants from different industries and sewage from our houses are posing a serious threat to the rivers of our nation. The water has become unsuitable for drinking purposes. The water is not even suitable for growing crops as it is filled with harmful chemicals which are not at all good for the crops. It is the need of the hour to strengthen the water quality management and construct additional sewage lines.
You are requested to please bring this issue into the limelight so that more people could be made aware of all this. Hope to receive a positive response from you.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours faithfully,
Karuna.
