Sub. : Environment pollution by vehicles
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities and the public to the growing menace of environmental pollution by vehicles. The emission of smoke by vehicles is increasing carbon dioxide in atmosphere. Consequently, the temperature is increasing. It disturbs the delicate environmental balance. It harms human beings in many ways. The hydrocarbons and other particles emitted by the vehicles add fuel to the fire. ‘Public Transport System’ should be made fast, frequent, comfortable and cheap. Metro rails and sky buses are helpful. Eco-friendly devices add green fuel should be used in vehicles. Overloadedness should be banned.

Sub. : The problem of unemployment and suggestions for tackling it
Sir
The problem of unemployment has baffled the minds of the rulers as well as the - ruled in India. A few from among a thousand get selection and the rest return to their homes with heavy hearts. A beginning can be made by providing technical education to those who show an aptitude for it. Along with it, let loans be made easily available to those who want to start small-scale industries in their hometowns. Those who are interested in and show an aptitude for literary pursuits, should be allowed to seek admission in a college. In this way the problem of unemployment among the educated youngmen can be tackled to some extent.

Sir
Gap in the male-female ratio is widening year after year. Female foeticide is much observed these days. Obviously, conservative traditions, modern machiņes for diagnosis, government passiveness, women's dependence, educational backwardness etc. have aggravated this problem. Government should enact stringent laws and implement them effectively. The detection of sex of the foetus should completely be banned. Free education to the girls for whole life should be provided. Public awareness should be strengthened.

Sub. : Noise pollution in our locality
Sir
I am a resident of Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur. As this colony is situated on a national highway, it suffers from noise pollution in a big way. Thousands of trucks and other heavy vehicles pass on the nearby road with great noise of horns and engines. The students are the hardest hit. They fail to concentrate on their studies at night. The problem of noise is further aggravated by the loud-speakers that blare out 'bhajans' from the temples of colony The national highway should be shifted away from the colony. A ban must be imposed on the use of microphones at night.

Sir
I want to bring it to the kind notice of the authorities through your prestigious newspaper, the fact that the water supply in Mansarovar is not regular. Sometimes, the supply of water is late and the children have to go to school without taking a bath. Sometimes the water supplied is unfit for drinking and small larvae can be seen swimming in it. This causes a great trouble to the people. Staff should be responsible, active and dutiful. Old pipe lines should be replaced. Exactness of the time should be monitored by authorities. Careless staff may be removed. We hope the concerned authorities will look into the matter and take corrective steps.

The Editor The Times of India Jaipur 
Sub. : Necessity of a public park Madam I want to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the need of public parks in our cities and towns in general and my town (Sanganer) in particular. The houses are spreading only vertically with storeys after storeys climbing on top of each other. In such conditions, public parks are indispensable.They provide open air spaces to the residents and playgrounds to the children. In fact, they function as lungs to the suffocated residential areas of our towns. Sanganer is one such town. It is an industrial town with multistoreyed buildings. The children have no place to play nor the old men to relax. A big public park is just the right thing that the people of this town need. Government should search the free land to establish parks. Public should suggest for the options to the authorities. I request the concerned authorities to develop a public park in the town.

Sub. : Pollution caused by smokers
Sir
Despite a law against smoking in public places, one can see people smoking in buses, trains, hospitals, parks and other places of public utility. Unless a drive is conducted to make people aware of the dangers of passive smoking and the existence of a law against smoking in public places, this problem will continue. Smokers should be charged penalty. People should oppose smokers at public places. I hope the authorities will take strict actions to stop the pollution caused by smokers.

Secondly, garbage containers should be kept on both sides of the roads. Thirdly, drainage and sewerage systems should be underground. This waste water should be recycled by machines. Fourthly, there should be mass awareness programme. Finally, strict actions should be taken against: the offenders. In this way, we can keep Sawai Madhopur clean.

Answer:

7 Jan. 20XX 
The Editor 
The Times of India Jaipur 
Sub. : Child Labour in India
Sir
Child labour is banned in India by the government but still we can see a lot of children working at many places. It's a shameful condition of India that even after 65 years of independence these children have tools instead of books. Children can be seen in hotels, factories, industries, fields, farms, roads, streets, homes etc. working only to satisfy their hunger. Government should implement the laws effectively. Regular monitoring of RTE should be done. Employers should be punished. Poverty eradication steps should be taken by the government. Parents and guardians should be provided sufficient employment to earn livelihood. Newspapers and media should awaken public in this matter. Seriousness by all is needful.

Globalisation has made the whole world like a small family. All countries, no matter how far they are, have become interdependent to each other. Use of Internet has greatly helped globalisation. Today the whole world is interconnected through internet. This internet facility has become a source of every kind of information and matter. What cannot be found in books, lectures and libraries, can be found on computer screen with the help of internet. One can be updated every time through it. Google search has provided everything on internet in an easy way to access. One can know everything with its help. Banks have made tremendous changes through internet banking. All the offices use this fast service for taking and giving information and orders. It is not costly too. Today one can talk to any person of any corner of the earth like sitting in front of each other on computer/lap-top screen with live visuals. People can maintain their contacts using free social sites like facebook, orkut, twitter, google+ etc. and e-mail services. So, internet is making the world increasingly interdependent.

Sub. : International problem of terrorism
Sir
The whole world is suffering from the problem of terrorism today. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion, in the international community. The violent act which is intended to create fear is terrorism. Every country, whether that is developed, developing or undeveloped is facing this great problem. Terrorists make their own organisations and groups to fight government. It has been proved by the investigating agencies that they secretly get high level support. A nation uses it against other as a silent war. Sometimes they prove to be more powerful than a government. A nation has to spend a large amount of budget to safeguard itself. All countries should take collective steps against it. With a lot of thanks
