Sir,
Sub: Request for establishing a Children’s park in Shashtri Colony in XYZ – reg.
I am living at the above address with my parents. Nehru colony is now fast developing. I am told that the land earmarked for children’s park is going to be sold for the construction of shopping mall. Since all the plots have been sold, we children and the aged, need the park for some morning exercises and evening relaxation. I request you to intervene and advise the municipality not to sell the parking space for commercial purposes. Please take steps to establish a park for us.
Thanking you in advance for immediate action.
Yours sincerely,
