Subject: An appeal to raise a concern about the improper disposal of protective

masks

Dear Sir,

With great admiration and belief in the columns of your newspaper, I seek to bring to
your kind notice that face masks, which are used extensively for individual protection
against Covid-19, are being disposed off in improper places by a section of people.

With the concerns surrounding the spread of Covid-19 along with the extensive efforts
of the government to create awareness about the necessity of protective measures, face
masks are being used by more and more people to protect themselves from the
disease. While this is a good thing, the problem arises with the careless throwing of
these masks in places such as roadsides, water bodies etc. by people ignorant of the
harm it can cause.

Hence, through the pages of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to appeal to the
people of our country to refrain from carelessly throwing their used masks since it
increases the chances of people being infected by unintentionally coming into contact
with it. Instead, masks should be disposed of in designated places with proper safety
measures.

Thanking you
Yours sincerely,
Sneha

Subject :    Regarding the indiscriminate use of loudspeakers

Dear Sir,

I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities towards the
indiscriminate use of loudspeakers through the columns of your esteemed newspaper.

Now-a-days, the use of loudspeakers at religious places, political gatherings,

marriages etc has become a very common sight. The organisers of these events do not
bother to turn off the loudspeakers after the stipulated time. In a lot of cases, the use
of loudspeakers continues till late in the night. This creates a lot of nuisance and
disturbance for a lot of people especially students and senior citizens.

I would want the authorities to look into this matter and put stricter rules in place.
They must ensure that the use of loudspeakers does not continue after the stipulated
time is over. Their efforts in this regard would be much appreciated by one and all.

Yours truly
Peeyush Sharma
