Sir salutation

Subject: Potholes on roads subject

I write on behalf of all the residents of Vasundhara that all the roads
of our area are poorly maintained. The roads are full of potholes and at
many stretches, hawkers have encroached the roads, posing a danger to
the riders and drivers. The pavements along these roads are being used
as garbage dumps and pose a health hazard to the residents. body

There have been a few fatal accidents in the area because of the poor

maintenance of the roads.

Hope this letter awakens the municipal authorities and the Public
Works Department for necessary action.

Yours faithfully complimentary close
