Complaint letter  

to Municipal Commissioner regarding open manhole and road

repairing

33 Lajpat Nagar
New Delhi
Date…………

The Commissioner,
Municipal Corporation of Delhi,
Delhi

Sir,

I wish to draw your attention towards the poor maintenance of roads and lights in our
locality.

The roads in our locality have not been repaired for a long time. There are pits and ditches on
the roads everywhere. The condition of the road becomes all the worst during the rainy
season. They cause road accident. At night people sometimes stumble down. Moreover, these
pits provide breeding ground for the mosquitoes. Thus there is an outbreak of mosquitoes in
the locality leading to the spread of malaria.

Besides, most of the street lights in our locality are out of order. Only a few street lights are
functioning. It is darkness in the locality. It has caused a spurt in the incidence of crime in the
area. People do not find it safe to go out of their houses with the prevailing of darkness. There
are frequent incidents of chain snatching in the evening hours. Particularly ladies are unsafe
in coming out of their houses in the dark. Snatching, burglary and theft have become the
order of the day. The hooligans after committing crimes take advantage of the darkness and
safely run away.

I, therefore, request you to kindly take necessary action to mend the ways so that people of
the area have good roads and street lights.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely

Hira Lal
