Sir,

Subject: To take action against the own-ers of worn out vehicles

This is to bring to your kind notice that Iam a commuter from Abids to LB Nagarevery day. I ride on my bike to the destina-tion. While I am on the road, I am not ableto breathe in reasonable fresh air as manyworn out bikes, autos, cars, trucks, lorriesand even RTC buses are emitting a lot ofsmoke. Sometimes I feel like I am suffocat-ing. Of late, I am suffering from lung dis-ease. It is same for almost all commuters ofmy kind.

The extremity of the condition is that thesmoke from the vehicles clouds the roadfrom view.There happen some fatal inci-dents when the old- aged patients inhalethis smoke. Besides conducting awarenessprograms, stringent action is to be taken inagainst the persons who are using wornout and battered vehicles and save thegeneral public from smoke hazards.

Anticipating a prompt action from theconcerned authorities.

Yours faithfully,

XYZ.
