7G, Rainbow Colony,
M. G. Road,
Dharavi,
Mumbai - 400017.
5th March 2018
Dear Friend,
                   I am very much concerned with the shortage of water faced by our city Mumbai. The municipal authorities have curtailed the supply of water from Two hours to One hour, as a result of which our daily routine is affected.
               We all should contact our local authorities to have a conversation with the water shortage problem. I hope the concerned authorities review the situation and begin recycling of water and rain harvesting programs. Users in households and industries should take more care about the use of water and how to conserve it. It would also do well to build storage tanks in fields and use drip irrigation so that there is no wastage of water.
             Though we are facing severe problems of water shortage. I hope that this problem will be resolved in the very near future.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
ABC.
