RBSE Class 12 English Letter Writing Letters to Editors

Here's How:

Letter to Editor : यह एक प्रकार का पत्र होता है जो समय-समय पर लोगों के द्वारा एक समाचार पत्र या पत्रिका के सम्पादक को अपने विभिन्न प्रकार के विचार, राय, शिकायत, सुझाव इत्यादि को व्यक्त करने के लिए लिखा जाता है।

एक सम्पादक को पत्र लिखने में निम्नलिखित बातों का ध्यान रखना चाहिये

1. अपना नाम, पता, ई-मेल का पता, फोन नम्बर इत्यादि को सबसे ऊपर देना नहीं भूलें क्योंकि एक समाचार-पत्र सम्पादक को इनकी आवश्यकता होती है । वह इसकी पूरी तरह से जाँच पड़ताल करने के बाद ही किसी भी समाचार या वक्तव्य को अपने समाचार-पत्र में स्थान देगा । 

2. यदि आप किसी पत्र या लेख का प्रत्युत्तर दे रहे हैं तो इसे सीधा ही कहें । अपने पत्र के मुख्य भाग में लेख का नाम पहले ही लिख दें । 

3. अपनी बात को संक्षिप्त में कहने का प्रयास करें । अपने पत्र में सारपूर्ण व बुद्धिमत्तापूर्ण विचारों को ही व्यक्त करें। 

4. एक पत्र में निम्नलिखित प्रारूप का अनुसरण करने का प्रयास करें
(i) पहले पैरा में अपनी समस्या बतायें व उनके प्रतिरोध को संक्षिप्त रूप में लिखने का प्रयास करें। 
(ii) दूसरे पैरा में अपने दृष्टिकोण के सहायक के रूप में कुछ वाक्यों को लिखने का प्रयास करें।
(iii) अंत में सारांश को जोरदार व बुद्धिमत्ता-पूर्ण लाइन के साथ समाप्त करें । 

5. अपने पत्र को दोबारा पढ़ लें क्योंकि एक पत्र-सम्पादक उन पत्रों की उपेक्षा कर देता है जिनमें व्याकरण सम्बंधी त्रुटियाँ पाई जाती हैं । यह पत्र सम्पादक के ऊपर एक बुरा प्रभाव छोड़ता है । 

6. यह भी याद रखें कि एक प्रसिद्ध समाचार पत्र को बहुत संख्या में पत्र प्राप्त होते हैं, इसलिए अपने पत्र का स्तर बनाये रखना चाहिये । यदि आप अपने पत्र को छपवाना ही चाहते हैं तो आरम्भ में आप छोटे समाचार पत्रों में प्रयास कर सकते हैं । 

7. यदि आप अपना नाम नहीं छपवाना चाहते हैं तो इसे स्पष्ट रूप से लिख दें । आप ऐसे किसी निर्देश या प्रार्थना को अलग पैरा में लिख सकते हैं । जैसे
"Please note : I do not want my full name to be published with this letter." 

8. चूँकि आपके पत्र को सम्पादित किया जायेगा । अतः लम्बी बहस में अपने विषय को डुबोने का प्रयास न करके सीधे ही अपने मूल बिन्दु पर आ जाना चाहिये । किसी को आघात पहुँचाने वाली भाषा का प्रयोग नहीं करें । जरूरत से ज्यादा भावुक होने की कोशिश भी न करें । नीचे एक कम्पनी द्वारा एक समाचार सम्पादक को लिखे गये पत्र का नमूना दिया जा रहा है जिसमें कम्पनी से संबंधित छपी एक खबर का खण्डन दिया जा रहा है

Dear Sir 
In your March 1st issue of Daily News, you stated that our organization had been losing money ever since we launched our new product, Mixus, and we were on the brink of bankruptcy. The truth of the matter is that we have shown a profit in six out of the past eight quarters. In no way has Mixus been our downfall, as you imply. Our revenue for this product has been just slightly under our projections during this period of product introduction to our customers. As you are aware, such implications of impending bankruptcy directly affect our relationship with suppliers and distributors. We insist you immediately print a statement that corrects this misinformation. 
Yours faithfully

We shall be highly obliged if you kindly publish in your esteemed journal our complaint against the Municipal Committee about the frequent breakdown of the water supply in our locality.

Water is supplied for only few hours and the time of supply is not fixed. The supply stops at any time. The amount is so small that it is hardly sufficient for drinking purposes. We hope that the Municipal Committee will immediately improve the water supply in this locality.

Dear Sir 
It is high time that proper steps should be taken to put a stop to the reckless driving of mini buses on the busiest and thickly populated roads of Jaipur city. Yesterday, an old man had a narrow escape from being run over by a mini bus. Such reckless driving causes fatal accidents when someone tries to cross the roads. It is often noted that the police take no notice of offenders, so minibus accidents occur almost daily. The traffic police should be strict in enforcing the rules and regulations for them.

Subject : Noise Pollution- a serious problem
Sir 
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to highlight the causes of noise pollution and its possible remedy. It is well-known that our cities are suffering from air and water pollution and this state of affairs is on the rise. There is now another factor of noise pollution and this nonsense has been a means of pompousness. There are many reasons like marriage processions, DJs during wedding, loud music from neighbourhood flats, etc. Marriage processions have become a genesis of discomfiture to the commuters. They are plied on the roads, causing traffic Jams. There is a need to arrest this stir. I wish to request concerned authorities to look into the matter and make and enforce rules to regulate the things. 
I hope my request will be heeded to for a better social order of cities.

No doubt that we are ploughing through the domain of Internet. But this conception of many including mine washed off when I visited a week long book fair last week. I was extremely thrilled by way of observing number of people thronging the venue and their enthusiasm in purchasing books on different topics. I also purchased four books.

A busy place like-Sindhi Camp bus stand has no proper dustbins. There are no dustbins on the roads. Major roads like - MI Road and other such busy roads have no dustbins. It is the time for the Jaipur authorities to do something in this matter. I am sure that Jaipureans will use dustbins if these are easily accessible.

I absolutely disagree with the picture published on the front page of your leading newspaper. Though it is good to have good rain but my objection is regarding the photograph. It showed some bikers driving very fast on the road filled with water. They were splashing water on the pedestrians. There were three riders on each bike. This is open violation of traffic rules. Again, they were not wearing helmets. It is also a violation. It is wrong to splash water on pedestrians. A leading newspaper like yours should not publish such pictures

Sir 
Through the columns of your newspaper, I wish to express my concern over the problem of demonstrations and strikes.

Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to people and the Government to join hands against each protests and strikes. If they have anything to protest they may do it peacefully, without resorting to violence, damaging public property, etc. The Government must also make strict rules and regulations against violent protests and strikes.

Sunset : Views on expensive marriage ceremonies 
Dear Sir 
Marriage ceremony is an important ceremony, but today it is becoming very expensive.Parents spend their income of hard labour and savings of years on band, light-decoration, tent etc in a few hours. If they give this money to their son or daughter, their future life will be much better. The question is "Does, a person from society go to ask the poor whether he has taken food or not ?" Nobody comes for the help. Then why there is such ostentation in the society? 
Yours faithfully,

The Editor

Subject : Views regarding child labour in India Dear Sir, Even after 70 years of India's independence, it is bone-chilling and blood-curdling to have a look at the children being enslaved by the eerie shadow of manual labour and being forbidden to avail school education.

Subject : Children committing crimes
Dear Sir 
Time and again we read about children committing crimes (e.g. the four boys accused of stabbing another boy....now being tried as adults). My question is: where are the parents and why are they not being brought up to answer and be responsible for their child's behaviour ? Children learn by example. Sometimes that example is by something not being done or a parent not standing up for a principle. Parents need be held accountable for their children committing such types of wicked crimes.
