Subject: Importance of Proper Garbage Disposal
I am a resident of Shakti Nagar and want to draw your attention towards the problem of
improper garbage disposal in the area.
Our neighbourhood is largely plagued with filthy and messy conditions. The streets are
unswept and the roads are wet. Garbage cans are frequently overloaded, and many people appear
to be lacking in civic awareness. It causes a slew of illnesses. Despite posters and placards
reminding people of their social duties, they continue to pollute the area.
It is our responsibility to address the issue of garbage disposal in a sensible manner.
Because cleanliness is a fundamental requirement, we shall make this appeal to the general
population. Citizens in our community have started a campaign to raise awareness about safe
waste disposal. Everyone is welcome to join in on our effort to make it a tremendous success. I
hope this letter will be an eye-opener for the public and the authorities.
Yours truly
Rubal

A Resident of Sakthi Nagar
