Q1. You are Raashi / Rahul of Simargarh, Himachal Pradesh. Write a letter in about 100-120 words to the Municipal Commissioner of the city, drawing attention to the unattended condition of the public parks in your town.

Simargarh, Himachal Pradesh
Subject: Concern About Public Parks in Simargarh
Sir/Madam
I am Raashi, a resident of Simargarh, Himachal Pradesh. I want to bring to your attention the poor condition of our public parks.
It is upsetting to see these areas, meant for fun and relaxation, in such bad shape. Garbage is everywhere, and stagnant water has created the nuisance of mosquitoes. Because of the lack of maintenance, these parks are not usable for children and other residents. To fix this, I suggest setting up a regular cleaning schedule with specific staff assigned to this task. We need more waste bins and must empty them on time.
Also, addressing the stagnant water with proper drainage and taking care of the green spaces would make these parks much better. Please take action to restore and maintain these public parks, as they are important for our community’s well-being.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely

Sir/Madam
I am Sapna, a resident of A-411, Vivek Vihar, Delhi. I am writing to raise an urgent concern about the broken street lights in our area.
Many street lights have not been working for a long time, leaving our neighborhood dark at night. This lack of street lighting creates serious safety issues for residents. It makes it hard and dangerous to walk around after sunset. The darkness also increases the risk of theft and other crimes. Additionally, it is especially difficult for pedestrians, particularly senior citizens and children.
I urge you to take quick action to fix this ongoing problem. Please direct the right department to repair or replace the broken street lights in Vivek Vihar. Good street lighting is essential for the safety and well-being of everyone in our community.
Thanking you

The park in-charge is not doing a good job. The boundary wall has several broken areas, which is a security risk. The flower beds are empty of flowers, making the park look barren. Additionally, the hedges are overgrown and not properly trimmed, so the park looks neglected. This situation is disappointing for residents who appreciate this green space.
