Answer 1

12-B, Nehru Nagar,
Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.

25th July, 20XX

The Health Officer,
Municipal Corporation,
Prayagraj.

Subject: Request for cleanliness and spraying of insecticide in Nehru Nagar.

Sir/Madam,

I am a resident of Nehru Nagar, and I wish to draw your attention to the unsanitary conditions prevailing in our locality. The garbage bins are overflowing, and the drains are not cleaned regularly. This has led to stagnant water in several places, which has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

The mosquito menace has increased significantly, posing a serious health risk to the residents, especially children. There is a growing fear of the spread of diseases like malaria and dengue.

Therefore, I kindly request you to take immediate action to arrange for the proper cleanliness of our locality and to get insecticide sprayed to control the mosquito population. Your prompt action will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
A concerned citizen
