Sub: Regarding the Poor Road Condition
Dear Sir/Madam,
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of concerned authorities to the deplorable condition of roads in our area.
I am a permanent resident of Gauradaha Municipality. I am writing this letter to alert key officials to the issue of poor road conditions in our area. It is completely broken due to the lack of maintenance and negligent attitude of the municipal authorities.
The damaged road is causing numerous problems as it makes it difficult for the residents to travel from one place to another. Moreover, the roads in our area have a lot of potholes. As a result, many accidents are caused by persons who cannot drive their vehicles smoothly. It is not safe as the potholes are very deep and if you fall into them, they can cause severe injuries. These roads are also troubling the passengers as vehicles are halting and jolting frequently. The students do not reach their school in time. In the rainy season, roads are covered with water and people cannot navigate the road.
Therefore, some roads require immediate repair while others require reconstruction. These issues should be resolved immediately. I request all the concerned authorities to get the road repaired as early as possible. Also, I request them to continuously monitor the work done, by the contractors to prevent such problems in the days to come. Thanking you in anticipation!
Yours faithfully,
Gaurab Subedi
2. Write a letter to the editor of a national daily stating the terrible traffic jam in your area in about 200 words. (तपाईंको क्षेत्रमा ट्राफिक जामको विकाराल अवस्थाको जानकारी गराउँदै राष्ट्रिय दैनिक पत्रिकाको सम्पादकलाई २०० शब्दमा पत्र लेख्नुहोस् ।)

Sub: Regarding the Traffic Jams
Dear Sir/Madam,
These days, traffic jam is very common in Kathmandu. One cannot reach his/her destination on time due to the traffic jams on the road. Recently, it took me an hour to drive to Kalimati from New Baneshwor: It was a frustrating experience as the road was jam-packed with motorbikes, taxis, buses and cars. Water and oil tankers were also there to obstruct the route.
During the tiresome journey, I noticed four causes of the traffic jam. First, the motorcyclists tend to overtake every vehicle by violating the lane rules and obstructing the route of the vehicles coming from the opposite direction. As a result, traffic jams occur.
Secondly, the motorcyclists and taxi drivers cross the busy road from anywhere they like: and sometimes they take minutes to cross the road. This causes a jam on all lanes and in both directions. Thirdly, the public buses cause jams as the helpers instruct the drivers to stop the buses wherever they see a passenger waiting by the roadside. The traffic police look on helplessly as so many rules are broken.
The road widening works also lead to jams as we can see heaps of soil, sand and other construction materials including big drain pipes kept by the side of the already congested road. If these shortcomings are corrected, I think the problem of traffic jam would be addressed to some extent.
Sincerely yours
Gaurab Subedi

Sub: Insanitary condition of the street and bad state of roads
Dear Sir/Madam,
I shall be very much obliged if you allow a little space in your widely circulated and popular newspaper in order to draw the attention of readers and authorities concerned towards the insanitary condition of the street and bad state of roads in Attariya bazaar. Attariya bazzar is a transit point of east and west, north and south. Nowadays, however, it seems as if it is a miniscule hell on this earth as roads have not been repaired for the last many years. The bus park seems very dirty and unmanaged. It is full of pitfalls. During the rainy season, water accumulates and stagnates. Mosquitoes breed there and spread malaria. The sweepers and the water carriers do not work properly. The drains give out a stinking smell. There is no dustbin in our street. People throw the garbage in the streets and create unhealthy conditions. Some people keep their cows and buffaloes in the street and do not remove the dung. Such a bad state of the road sometimes causes accidents.
The authorities, especially Godawari Municipality should take necessary action. If immediate steps are not taken in this connection, the insanitary conditions may become a serious threat to the health of the local residents. Finally, I am optimistic that the concerned authorities would take this fact into consideration and take necessary measures to solve this problem as soon as possible. Thanking you,
Sincerely yours
Supreme Wagle

Dear Sir/Madam,
In response to your request for reader submissions for an article entitled 'The book that influenced me most' for your newspaper, I am writing this letter. I would like to grab this opportunity to tell you more about the book that had an impact on me.
I'm Yuna Magar, a tenth grader. I frequently read the newspaper and magazines published by The Rising Nepal. I usually write for the popular magazine, Muna. Recently, I read a famous book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' by Robert Kiyosaki. This la the book which I'd like to recommend everyone to read and get enlightened, It tells about financial literacy, financial independence and the importance of building wealth through investment. My English literature assigned me to review this hook. The book gave me valuable tips on financial management, wealth generation and investment strategies. This led me to offer advice to invest in real estate and make money.
As a result, in my opinion, this book has a good chance of influencing anybody looking for advice on how to invest money wisely. This helps to generate profitable returns, maintain financial stability, and make the most use of their resources. This book will undoubtedly have a huge impact on people of any age group.
I hope that this information is adequate for your column. I hope you will give space to my opinion in your reputed newspaper. If you have further queries, feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely yours,

Sub: Regarding Frequent Breakdown of Electricity
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would be grateful if you could give space to my opinion on the problem of frequent breakdown of electricity in our locality.
The condition of power supply in our locality is indeed very disappointing. The power supply breaks down very frequently and at odd times, mid-night or the afternoon. Due to this, the public are suffering severely. Owing to frequent power interruption, the fans, coolers and refrigerators become useless during summer days.
In addition to this, the power interruption has largely affected the students in particular during exams days. Similarly, it also has led to the minor thefts in the area. Furthermore, due to the frequent power interruption, it has been challenging for the public to charge the electronic devices such as mobile phones and electric vehicles. I have frequently talked of this several times but of no avail. I will be more grateful if you'could publish my opinion in your next publication so that the concerned authorities can do the needful.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours faithfully,

6. Write a letter to the editor of a daily newspaper about environmental pollution in your locality due to brick factories. (इँटा उद्योगका कारण वातावरणीय प्रदूषण भएको जानकारी गराउँदै दैनिक पत्रिकाका सम्पादकलाई एउटा पत्र लेख्नुहोस् ।)

Subject: Regarding Environmental Pollution
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my grave concern regarding the worsening environmental pollution in our locality, primarily due to the presence and activities of numerous brick factories. The detrimental impact on our environment and the health of the residents is alarming, and it is high time that we address this pressing issue.
As we know, pollution destroys the nature from inside. It harms the environment and makes it difficult for any form of organism to survive. There are different kinds of environmental pollution, including water, air, noise and various other pollution. All of these kinds of pollution directly affect the quality of life on this planet.
For several years now, Changunarayan Municipality has been bearing the brunt of the brick factories operating in our vicinity. Air pollution has been growing to an extreme level in the recent years. The brick-making process involves the burning of vast quantities of coal and wood, resulting in the release of harmful gases and pollutants into the atmosphere. The disposal of wastewater and chemicals from these brick factories has contaminated our local water sources. Moreover, the constant operation of brick factories has significantly increased noise pollution. They are not only disturbing human lives but also causing several health hazards, such as respiratory diseases, eye problem, skin ailments, etc. Due to smoke, the visibility is always poor in the morning. However, this problem can be solved. For this, concerned authority should work aggressively for example, they should relocate the brick factories to new, non- residential areas. In addition, the local authorities should take immediate and effective action to regulate the operations of these brick factories, ensuring that they adhere to environmental standards and adopt cleaner, sustainable technologies. Meanwhile, it is essential for our community to work together to raise awareness about the environmental consequences of these brick factories.
I request that you use the platform of your esteemed newspaper to bring attention to this critical issue and encourage public discourse. I believe that the prestigious columns of your newspaper will help reach this issue to the concerned audience and authorities so that this problem can be uprooted soon.
Thanking in anticipation!
Yours sincerely,
Samikshya Rana Magar
