Subject: Open Manholes on R S Road


Respected Sir/Ma’am,
I am Rina Verma, a resident of Ibiz Avenue. I am writing to throw some light on
the issue of open manholes in our area.
It has been more than a period of 6 months now since these manholes were
opened, and there have been multiple accidents due to this. We have approached
the local authorities and associations in this regard, but no action has been taken
so far, and it is becoming a matter of great worry. There are children who walk to
school every day, and there are a lot of working people taking this route as it is a
road that connects the main road to the Electronic City area where most of the IT
companies are located.
Kindly consider this issue and highlight it in your newspaper so that the
authorities are alerted about the need to look into this situation as soon as
possible in order to reduce the number of casualties.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,
Rina Verma
Resident of Ibiz Avenue
