Ans: Respected Ma’am
I would like to bring your kind attention to the insanitary conditions of our Preet Vihar locality. It was maintained before, but now it has become quite unsanitary.

The drains that have been dug up, overflow a lot making the wastewater come onto the roads. Since there are many potholes on the roads, this wastewater gets deposited in the same and becomes the reason for an increase in the number of mosquitoes as well as foul smells. The situation worsens during the monsoon season when roads become water-logged. Since there is no provision for garbage collection, there are many litters and piles of garbage that can be seen all around the locality. Even taking a walk or stroll in the locality is not possible now because of the insanitary conditions. It has become a great health hazard for all of us residents.

I request you to kindly visit the locality so that you can see for yourself the severity of the situation and take necessary action. The actions must be taken without any delay because such a situation is directly affecting the health of all the residents here.

Thanking You
