Subject: Concern Over Rising Noise Pollution Dear Sir/Madam,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to express my concern over the alarming rise in noise pollution in our city. Apart from environmental pollution, noise pollution has become a significant issue caused by traffic noise, construction activities, loudspeakers, and social events. This menace has led to severe effects on people’s health, such as sleep disorders, hearing difficulties, and other health-related issues. Despite existing laws, the lack of proper implementation and civic responsibility aggravates the problem. I strongly urge the authorities to enforce stricter laws to control noise pollution and sensitize citizens about their role in mitigating this issue. A collective effort can lead to a more peaceful and healthier environment. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. Yours sincerely,
Ashish/Akanksha
