👉 Answer:
📌
Subject: Complaint regarding poor condition of kutcha road
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing to draw your attention towards the poor
condition of the kutcha road in our colony. Due to heavy rains, large potholes
and waterlogging have made the road unsafe.
The problems that we face are serious. The potholes cause
accidents and damage vehicles. Stagnant water has become a breeding ground for
mosquitoes, leading to diseases like dengue and malaria. Consequently,
residents are facing health risks and inconvenience.
I request you to take immediate action. Firstly, the road
should be repaired. Secondly, proper drainage should be provided. I look
forward to your prompt response.
Thank you.
