Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Escalating Noise Pollution on Ajmera Road

Dear Mr. Savarkar,

Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I wish to bring to the attention of the concerned authorities the alarming rise in noise pollution plaguing Ajmera Road. This issue has severely disrupted the quality of life for residents and demands immediate intervention.

Over the years, rapid urbanization—marked by the construction of residential complexes, schools, and commercial offices—has led to a surge in vehicular traffic. Consequently, the area has become excessively noisy, with footpaths encroached upon by shop extensions, forcing pedestrians onto the roads. The mingling of residential and commercial zones exacerbates the chaos, as vehicles (both temporary and permanent) park haphazardly, blocking entry gates and roadways. Frustrated drivers resort to incessant honking while searching for parked vehicle owners, further amplifying noise levels.

Key Issues Identified:

1. Illegal Parking: School buses, bank vehicles, and goods tempos often park for extended durations (30–90 minutes), obstructing traffic flow.

2. Emergency Hazards: Ambulances and fire brigade vehicles face delays due to congestion, risking lives.

3. Pedestrian Safety: Encroached footpaths force pedestrians onto roads, increasing accident risks.

Proposed Solutions:

1. Designated Waiting Zones:

   • Commercial vehicles (e.g., goods tempos) should be directed to park inside societies or within a 1-meter radius of shops.

   • Introduce "Waiting Period Passes" (1–5 minutes) for loading/unloading, with strict penalties for violations.

2. Emergency Lanes: Reserve clearly marked lanes for ambulances and fire brigade vehicles.

3. Footpath Automation: Install paid automated retractable footpaths to reclaim pedestrian space and deter encroachment.

4. Strict Parking Enforcement: Penalize illegal parking and honking through vigilant patrolling and fines.

The unchecked noise and air pollution not only harm public health but also degrade the area’s livability. Immediate action is imperative to enforce discipline, reduce congestion, and restore peace.

I urge the municipal corporation and traffic police to implement these measures swiftly. Your newspaper’s support in highlighting this issue will undoubtedly catalyze change.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

HOD [water authority officer]

PCMC,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you on behalf of the residents of Masulkar Colony, Pimpri. We are facing a serious problem with the water supply in our area. For the past 14 days, the water supply has been very irregular. Sometimes, water comes only for a short time, and other times, there is no water at all. This is causing a lot of trouble for everyone living here.

The irregular water supply is making it hard for us to do daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, and bathing. Many families, especially those with children and elderly people, are struggling because of this issue. We are worried about our health and hygiene too.

We kindly request you to look into this matter urgently. Please take action to fix the water supply system and ensure that we get water regularly. If possible, please let us know what is causing this problem and when it will be resolved.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We hope for a quick solution.

Yours sincerely,

Subject: Request for Establishment of a New Library at Pratibha International School

To
The Principal
Pratibha International School
Chinchwad

Dear Madam,

I am a student of Class X, Division A, at Pratibha International School. I am writing to respectfully request the establishment of a new library in our school to promote reading, learning, and practical education among students.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, when we were in the pre-primary section, we enjoyed access to educational toys, games, picture books, and comics. These resources encouraged creativity and a love for learning. However, over the years, many of us have shifted to using electronic gadgets for study and entertainment. While technology is helpful, it has raised some concerns.

Firstly, studies show that our generation relies heavily on search engines like Google and AI tools to find quick answers. This habit is reducing our ability to research independently and craft thoughtful responses tailored to specific requirements. Secondly, prolonged exposure to electronic devices is causing health issues due to radiation, which is a growing concern. Lastly, excessive use of gadgets is leading to addiction, making us less focused, more isolated, and sometimes causing conflicts with family members due to our dependence on these devices.

To address these issues, I kindly request you to establish a new library in our school. The library should include a wide range of books, such as storybooks, comics, reference materials, and educational resources. Additionally, it would be beneficial to provide kits for practical assignments to encourage hands-on learning. To ensure maximum benefit, I suggest making daily library attendance compulsory for all students, even if for a short period, to foster a habit of reading and learning.

The introduction of a library will help us reconnect with physical books, improve our research skills, reduce screen time, and promote a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. It will also create a space for students to explore new ideas and develop critical thinking.

I sincerely hope you will consider this request and take steps to establish a new library in our school. I am confident that this initiative will greatly benefit all students and contribute to our overall development. Thank you for your time and kind consideration.

Subject: Complaint regarding increasing deforestation and its alarming aftereffects, with suggested solutions

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter as a concerned citizen and resident of Pimpri-Chinchwad to draw your urgent attention towards the increasing deforestation in our city and its surrounding areas. Over the past few years, I have observed a rapid decline in tree cover due to road widening, construction projects, and unauthorized tree felling. This has resulted in multiple visible and alarming aftereffects on our environment and quality of life.

Firstly, the temperature in our locality has noticeably increased, with summers becoming unbearably hot. The absence of trees has also reduced humidity, making the air dry and unhealthy. There has been a rise in dust pollution, leading to respiratory problems among children and the elderly. Additionally, the loss of green cover has forced many birds and insects to migrate or die, disturbing the natural ecosystem. We are also witnessing more frequent urban flooding due to reduced soil absorption capacity.

If these issues are not addressed soon, they may lead to serious long-term consequences for public health, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Therefore, I propose the following feasible solutions that can be implemented at various levels:

1. Government Level:
   
   

   • Enforce stricter tree felling laws with penalties for unauthorized cutting.
     
     

   • Mandate compensatory afforestation at a 3:1 ratio for every tree cut.
     
     

   • Launch a transparent online portal for tree census and felling permissions.
     
     

2. Offices & Industries:
   
   

   • Promote green campuses by planting trees and creating green walls.
     
     

   • Incentivize businesses to adopt rainwater harvesting and rooftop gardens.
     
     

3. Vehicles & Transport Sector:
   
   

   • Encourage electric vehicle use to reduce pollution affecting green spaces.
     
     

   • Implement green corridors along highways and main roads.
     
     

4. Schools & Educational Institutions:
   
   

   • Make tree plantation drives compulsory as part of school activities.
     
     

   • Include environmental protection topics in curricula with practical projects.
     
     

5. Individuals & Households:
   
   

   • Promote balcony and terrace gardening in residential buildings.
     
     

   • Encourage people to plant at least one tree on birthdays or special occasions.
     
     

6. Housing Societies & Communities:
   
   

   • Develop community gardens and park spaces.
     
     

   • Monitor and prevent illegal tree cutting within society premises.
     
     

These combined efforts can help restore our green cover, reduce heat, improve air quality, and rebuild ecological balance. I request your esteemed office to prioritize this issue and initiate immediate action in collaboration with all stakeholders.

I sincerely hope my concerns and suggestions will be considered seriously for the sustainable future of our city. Looking forward to your positive response and concrete steps towards solving this environmental crisis.

Thanking you,

Subject: Complaint regarding excessive noise pollution from loudspeakers and urgent need for strict enforcement during examination periods

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring to your urgent attention the increasing issue of noise pollution caused by loudspeakers in our locality, especially its severe impact during the ongoing school and college examination season. As a resident and concerned citizen, I wish to highlight the intolerable levels of disturbance faced by students, working professionals, and elderly residents due to the frequent and excessive use of loudspeakers, particularly during religious functions, political rallies, and public events near residential areas.

As per the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, the permissible limits are:

• Residential Areas: 55 dB (day), 45 dB (night)

• Commercial Areas: 65 dB (day), 55 dB (night)

• Industrial Areas: 75 dB (day), 70 dB (night)

• Silent Zones (within 100 meters of hospitals, educational institutions, courts, religious places): 50 dB (day), 40 dB (night)

However, the loudspeakers in use often exceed 85 dB or more, which is harmful to human hearing and mental health. The consequences of such excessive noise are already visible—students preparing for exams are unable to focus, elderly people suffer from headaches and disturbed sleep, and working professionals find it impossible to concentrate while working from home.

Doctors have warned that prolonged exposure to such noise can lead to permanent hearing loss, tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears), stress, and cardiovascular issues. The cumulative effects are not only physical but also mental, causing irritability and emotional distress among residents.

I wish to especially emphasize that during examination times, the impact of noise pollution multiplies manifold. Students face enormous pressure to perform well academically, and such loud, prolonged noise hampers their concentration, leading to anxiety, poor retention, and reduced academic performance. Many students, despite their efforts, are unable to prepare adequately due to the continuous loudspeaker announcements and music.

Moreover, the use of loudspeakers late into the night is a clear violation of the law. Despite rules prohibiting the use of loudspeakers after 10 PM, events continue well beyond this time, causing further disruption. The Bombay High Court and other authorities have repeatedly stressed the need for stricter enforcement of noise control laws, especially in residential and silent zones.

In view of the above, I request the Municipal Corporation to implement the following measures with extra vigilance during examination periods:

At the Government Level:

1. Enforce strict monitoring and control of loudspeaker usage near schools, colleges, and coaching centers during exams.

2. Impose heavier fines for violations of noise limits during exam times.

3. Deploy mobile noise-monitoring units in sensitive areas for real-time enforcement.

At Community and Society Levels:

1. Issue directives to community organizations to avoid loudspeakers during exams or to limit their volume and timing strictly.

2. Encourage the use of non-noise-based alternatives (e.g., digital displays, silent rallies).

3. Promote neighborhood agreements to voluntarily restrict noise during exam periods.

At Institutional Levels (Schools, Colleges, Offices):

1. Designate strict silence zones around educational premises.

2. Raise awareness among local communities about the importance of quiet environments for students.

3. Encourage offices to avoid noisy events, loud construction, or loudspeaker use during exam days.

At Individual Level:

1. Citizens should avoid using loudspeakers or playing loud music near homes and schools during exam season.

2. Parents and residents can educate their neighborhoods about the impact of noise on students’ success.

3. Individuals should immediately report violations to municipal helplines or police.

Sir/Madam, noise pollution is not merely an inconvenience—it is a serious threat to health, education, and peaceful living, especially in the critical period of academic examinations. If no action is taken, the future of many hardworking students will suffer.

I earnestly request that high-alert enforcement of noise regulations be maintained throughout the exam period, ensuring that students are provided a quiet and supportive environment to focus on their studies. Strict action against violators, coupled with awareness campaigns, will go a long way in protecting the health and academic success of our young generation.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I hope for your swift and effective intervention to safeguard the interests of students and residents alike.

Subject: Suggestions for Improving Garbage Management and Segregation

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a resident of PCMC and write to commend your department’s efforts in waste management while highlighting areas for improvement. As a responsible citizen, I have studied global models like Germany’s garbage collection system and believe adopting similar practices can enhance our city’s sustainability.

Appreciation for Existing Initiatives

1. RRR Centers: The establishment of Reduce, Recycle, Reuse (RRR) Centers has significantly promoted eco-friendly habits among citizens.

2. Dustbin Distribution: The distribution of green (for wet waste) and white (for dry waste) dustbins is a commendable step toward waste segregation.

Key Issues Identified

Despite these efforts, challenges persist:

1. No Mandatory Segregation: Residents often mix dry and wet waste, rendering the dual-bin system ineffective.

2. Inadequate Handling of Specific Waste Types:

   • Electronic waste (e.g., old gadgets)

   • Medical/hazardous waste (e.g., syringes, expired medicines)

   • Metals, clothes, plastic/rubber, and biodegradable waste lack dedicated disposal mechanisms.

Suggestions for Improvement

1. Strict Enforcement: Introduce penalties for non-segregation of waste and reward compliant households.

2. Public Awareness Campaigns: Conduct workshops to educate citizens on categorizing waste into 6 types:

   • Electronic

   • Medical/Hazardous

   • Metals

   • Clothes

   • Plastic/Rubber

   • Biodegradable

3. Expand RRR Centers: Include separate collection units for e-waste and medical waste to prevent environmental harm.

Germany’s success lies in strict laws and citizen cooperation, and I urge PCMC to adopt similar measures. A cleaner city will improve public health and set an example for other municipalities.

Thank you for your attention. I am hopeful that these suggestions will be implemented for the greater good of PCMC.
