Letter to the Editor about the problem caused by waterlogging in our locality.

The Editor,

Sir, 

      I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me a little space in the columns of your highly esteemed daily so that I may ventilate my opinion to draw the attention of the concerned authority about the problem caused by waterlogging for long time in our Santipur locality. 

     The life of common people of Santipur Locality have become a hell in this rainy season. The main reason is the problem of waterlogging on most of the streets and lanes. Even the minimum rainfall causes a heavy waterlogging in our area. Due to irregular clearance of garbage, all the drainage systems have been suspended. Due to it, the life of common people has become very difficult. We can not move freely on the road. We have to remain confined in our house. The total transport system has been very much affected by it. As a result, we have to waste our valuable time to reach our destination. Besides, road accidents are increasing due to it. The walkers as well as riders quite often fall in the drain or in the open manhole getting not visible due to waterlogging. Those water is becoming the breeding place for fly and mosquito and that may cause pandemic disease at any time. We have intimated the matter to our municipality for unnumbered times but they seem careless to it. 

     I, as a tax-payer citizen, think that the due authority should take proper and immediate actions to solve this problem otherwise the public grievance may, at any time, lead to a dire consequence.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Anit Barui
