Subject: Thank you for the information and appeal about safe driving.

Respected Sir,

I am Sanjana Bhosale, a civilian of Purva Colony in the nearby locality. I'm writing to express my gratitude for the attractive and educational poster on "Road Safety Week" that was displayed on Gandhi Chowk.

Sir, first of all, allow me to congratulate you with respect to the content of the poster. All the points that have been mentioned are absolutely applicable and should be kept in mind by all road users. Secondly, Gandhi Chowk is a perfect site for the poster because it is virtually difficult to miss it there. Additionally, I would want to let you know that the sign is proving to be quite helpful to Amravati residents as it frequently acts as a reminder of appropriate road behaviour.

In fact, quite a few people have told me that the first point in the poster, about leaving early, has helped them avoid last-minute troubles. I hope after this informative and appealing poster vehicle drivers will keep the speed limit.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,
Sanjana Bhosale

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
