Respected Sir,
I am writing this letter to bring notice to the major problem of water supply in our area. It has been many days since we have not got a regular water supply and this has created a major problem in our area. There is irregular supply of water which has been causing inconvenience to us. Many people have to bring water from the paid tanker and satisfy their basic need. Not only our area but areas near us also have been facing this major problem. It is very sad to see how people are suffering from this and they can’t even have their basic need fulfilled. I, on behalf of people of our area request you to look into this matter and do the needful.
Thank you
