Dear Sir,
Subject: Deteriorating law and order situation in the city
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the fast deteriorating law and order situation in the city.
The inhabitants of this city are going through a phase of panic. Media is repeatedly reporting crime stories of rape, arson, kidnapping, burglary and theft.
Our city is world famous as a tourist and business hub. Due to deterioration of law and order situation, the number of tourists has decreased and participants for business fairs are also withdrawing their participation. In this context, it is advisable that the concerned authorities should rope in paramilitary forces to tackle the deteriorating law and order situation. It is a matter of concern that intelligence agencies failed to provide adequate and timely clues about various incidents which have taken place recently, creating panic among people.
While immediately taking hold of the situation, the government should take steps in allocating adequate funds for the development of the adjoining areas of the city. This will bring about a permanent solution to the problem. I hope the concerned authorities will take the required measures on an urgent basis.
Yours truly,
Nandita Yadav
