Sir,
I have been a sincere reader of your esteemed daily for the last five years Through the columns of five years. Through the columns of your daily, I would like to draw the attention of the public as well as concerned authorities towards the bad condition of roads and the uncleanliness in our locality.
I am a resident of Old Guntur, Guntur. We are suffering a lot due to the negligence of the Municipal workers. There are large pits in roads. Some roads have potholes and ditches. There is an increase in the number of accidents in our locality due to these bad road conditions. Water gets stagnated. During the monsoon-season, water gets clogged in the road pits. Recently, a girl has fallen into a ditch. Thank God, a cyclist has seen it and saved her. The sweepers are not regular to their duties. Once in a week, they come in a casual way. There are piles of garbage at every corner emitting foul smell. These corners attract flies and mosquitoes in large number. If the same state of affairs continues, I am afraid that some diseases may spread. All these things lead to health hazard. Another problem is that the street lights are not functioning properly. It also leads to the accidents.
I have already lodged complaints with the officials several times but in vain. Hence I request the concerned authorities to take necessary steps in this regard.
Yours truly,
xxxx
