To,
The chairperson,
Kadampur municipality,
Kadampur, west Bengal
Subject: to complain against the irregular disposal of garbage in our locality.
Respected sir,
I beg to state that I am a permanent resident in your municipality area for last 10 years. I witnessed great service in cleaning, promoting, drinking water and other events regulated by the municipality. I am quite happy and satisfied with the service. But a problem has come up recently which is bothering all of us. The problem is irregular disposal of garbage from areas. We put our household water materials and garbage to specific dustbin in due period. But it is not cleaned regularly and become a large heap of garbage. As a result, we have to live with poor smell and polluted environment. We face troubles in moving too for being lack of space. Small vehicles like cycle, scooter, and motorbikes cannot pass through road for the disposal of garbage. It is almost impossible for cars and other big vehicle to pass from that space. Despite that we have to stay with rotten smell in that unclean environment for long time which is affecting our health. It is polluting the entire environment nearby which hampering the health of all animals not only human beings.
Garbage cleaning is one of the major concern of municipal authority. If it takes the responsibility of taking or disposing garbage from our area on daily or alternative days then the area will remain clean. We have to pay taxes every year for all services that the government provide. Still we are not getting proper services and staying far away from improvement.
So, I would be thankful if you look up at this matter soon and rescue us from this difficult situation.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Sarthak Biswas
