Subject- Complaint against congestion caused by cars at various places

Respected Sir
Through the column of your prestigious newspaper, I want to highlight the urgent need to look through the congestion caused by the cards at market roads.

I'm a resident of Nadesh Nagar. The demand has grown exponentially because of the rising needs. But there are no highways built over them that take the needs of the moment into account. In addition, the number of automobiles has also risen in the area.

Therefore, too many cars cannot be housed in the business place. People finally park their vehicles on the highways or even on the pavement several times. This adds to jams as drivers are attempting to relocate. Footballers are still having a dilemma because they do not have enough room to walk. It takes a lot of time for the congestion to be resolved.

I rely on you to give some space to my article in your prestigious newspaper so that people get awareness about the issue and they could examine the matter on behalf of the residents and to get a public parking lot for residents installed. Parking at private car parks will be paid to the tenants. This generates funds to preserve the car park. I assume that you can think about this and do whatever possible to alleviate the discomfort facing tenants.

Yours faithfully,
Sakshi Aggarwal.
