Subject: Complaint against snatching and anti-social activities in our locality.
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am Simrat Kaur, residing at Azad Nagar Housing Society,Lake Gardens, Kolkata-700056 for about 15 years. I am writing this letter to bring into your attention the theft and anti-social activities that are happening in our locality. Our locality is a very old and respected area situated beside Rabindra Sarovar. People from all regions and profession reside here. We all have in living in peace and harmony for a decade now.
Unfortunately, last three months the peace and safety of our locality have been destroyed by a group of people who are coming here on regular basis during early hours in the morning and also at night. Cases of theft, snatching of valuable items have increased. We, the residents of this locality are really very worried and scared. These people also sit near our club and practice gambling and drinking in open public area. During these gambling sessions they also make loud noises, curse each other with bad words, put on music in very high volume. All these activities are resulting in disturbances in our locality.
Our locality comprises of both old and young kids. The aged people are facing tremendous mental and physical harassments when they are coming out for morning walks. Recently, an elderly couple were snatched off their valuables. The old couple in refence were out for their morning walk when suddenly three or four boys in their mid-twenties surrounded them with knives and sticks in their hands. It was early in the morning and not many people were around. They were very scared and had to handover their watches and gold chains in order to save themselves. Another similar incident took place with one of the young residents at night when he was returning from work. He was stopped and few boys from these group tried to snatch his wallet and mobile phone.
We have complained to our Councilor but no steps have been taken by the local political party. They have just come to our locality and expressed their fake concerns and left. The gambling, drinking, putting on of loud music etc are also creating a negative impact on our younger generation. They are unable to concentrate in their studies. The atmosphere is not at all safe also for the young people. The inconvenience of drinking by the miscreants continues till late at night. They continue shout, fight with each other and they have even threatened to kill if someone tries to stop.
The residents of our area believe that the miscreants are being aided by some antisocial people from our locality who have questionable countenance and these miscreants are receiving support from them. Our whole locality is very disturbed.
It will be great help that if you look into the matter and provide some solution.
Yours sincerely
Simrat Kaur,
