45, Green Park Colony

The Municipal Commissioner

Bhopal
Subject: Urgent complaint regarding damaged drainage system in our locality
Respected Sir/Madam,
I wish to draw your attention to the poor condition of the drainage system in Green Park Colony. The drains are broken and frequently clogged, causing dirty water to overflow onto the roads.
This has resulted in foul smell, unhygienic surroundings, and the breeding of mosquitoes. Residents, especially children and elderly people, are facing serious health risks such as dengue and malaria. During rainfall, the situation worsens as water stagnates for several days, making it difficult for people to commute.
I request the concerned department to conduct an immediate inspection and repair the damaged drains. Regular cleaning, proper covering of open drains, and installation of a better waste disposal system would greatly improve the situation. Strict monitoring should also be ensured to prevent future blockages.
I hope the authorities will take prompt action in this matter for the welfare of the residents.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Aman
