Letter to the Editor of an English daily about the problem caused by insufficiency of street lights in our locality.

The Editor, 

The Telegraph, 

Kolkata—01. 

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 insufficiency of street lights in our locality. 

For long time the insufficiency of street lights in our locality has been causing much trouble to all of us. There should have been light posts at regular gap beside the street. but the light posts are few and far between. Some of the streets and lanes are not at all lighted. For want of light, accidents occur very often or passers-by have a narrow escape. Some of the posts again have their electric bulbs missing making a deep pool of darkness all around. The darkness tempts antisocial activists and burglars to carry on their unlawful activities. Snatching, burglary, eve-teasing have increased very much. The girls and women can not go out at night for safety. 

I, being a conscious citizen, in view of all these, think that the due authority should think over the serious problem and take necessary steps to solve this problem and ensure the safety of all of us. 

Thanking you, 

Yours faithfully, 

Bappa Biswas
