Subject: Urgent Action Needed to Address Pollution at Marine Lines
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to raise a critical issue that has been troubling me and many others in Mumbai. Marine Lines, a popular locality, is now severely polluted with plastic waste and garbage. The once-beautiful area has become an eyesore, and the accumulation of plastic waste poses serious environmental and health hazards. The situation calls for immediate intervention. Marine Lines, being a major public space, requires collective effort from all stakeholders to tackle this pollution. NGOs, such as 'Clean India', are doing commendable work, but the support from individuals and government agencies is crucial. Individuals must take responsibility for proper waste disposal, avoid littering, and participate in community clean-up drives. NGOs can mobilize citizens and raise awareness about the dangers of pollution. However, the involvement of local government bodies is vital in providing adequate waste management systems and enforcing policies to curb plastic usage. I urge the municipal authorities to take swift action to ensure regular cleaning, provide more waste disposal bins, and initiate campaigns to reduce plastic usage in the area. We need to work together to restore the beauty of Marine Lines and safeguard our environment for future generations. Thank you for considering this issue. I hope your esteemed newspaper will take this matter seriously and encourage readers to contribute to the cleaner future of our city. Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
Volunteer, Clean India

The Need for Political Parties
As we have seen, large societies need representative democracy. As societies became large and complex, they also needed some agency to gather different views on various issues and to present these to the government. They needed some ways, to bring various representatives together so that a responsible government could be formed. They needed a mechanism to support or restrain the government, make policies, justify or oppose them. Political parties fulfil these needs that every representative government has. We can say that parties are a necessary condition for a democracy.- CBSE Class X - 2025

The Independence Day Pledge, 26 January 1930
“We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We also believe that if any government deprives people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian
people of their freedom but based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence.”- CBSE Class X - 2025
