To whom it may concern,
I am a resident of L ittlepole, in New Delhi. I am writing to address a serious environmental problem in the neighborhood.
I moved to this neighborhood in January two months ago and noticed that there is a terrible smell of coal especially in the early morning and evening hours while I'm out for a run or walk. I have talked to some residents of the area and learned that most of them use low calorie coals in their stoves or central heating systems. As a result, w e inhale carbon polluted air, and at times when there is smog, it becomes almost impossible to walk around. Also, it may cause lung or similar diseases in the long run which are fatal or difficult to cure.
I trust that the municipality w ill introduce a ban on using low calorie coal and raise people's awareness about the risks involved both in environmental and individual terms.
I am sure that you will do your best and work hard to try to solve this problem. This issue is a priority as it is a very serious threat to people and environment.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Myra Sahana
