Dear Mr Sharma, I am one of the residents in your locality and I am writing
this
letter to express my concern related to the garbage collection system currently in place. Nowadays, garbage pickers are not coming to collect the rubbish from houses and
therefore
we have to dump our household garbage in the nearby ground as we are left with no other option. Due to
this
, the whole area has become stinky and it is affecting our neighbourhood in an adverse manner. Many children have become sick in the
last
few days due to an increase in mosquitos on the waste thrown in open areas. Earlier, we used to empty our dustbins on a daily basis to the council-assigned collectors. But now, no one is coming and it is told to us that new bins will be placed in every society but no action has been taken by the state so far.
Therefore
, I would like to request you please look into the matter. Either arrange dustbins in every street or assign responsible people to collect the household wastes on a daily basis so that we can get rid of the current issues. Yours faithfully, Divya
