In the metro cities and big cities, there has been tremendous increase in the levels of noise pollution. It?s not only the shrieking horns and roars of vehicles but also marriage processions, loud playing DJ?s, aircrafts and machines in industrial areas which cause a lot of noise pollution.                         The consequences are extremely hazardous. They lead to increasing cases of deafness, insomnia, palpitation of heart, mental fatigue, etc. Among the sufferers are the small babies and old people who can?t sleep properly patients can?t rest and students can?t study. Then there are ?Jagrans? that force the public to keep awake the whole night. The problem further adds to the fact that noise control laws are neither followed properly nor implemented completely. The culprits bribe the police and other officials and get away easily.                         So I think that law alone is not sufficient until and unless we citizens take an oath to make the city noise free and educate the people about its ill effects. Above all, everybody has a right to enjoy a noiseless, peaceful sleep at night. Hope your newspaper will take initiative in this regard and relieve us from the menace of noise pollution.             Yours Truly             Karuna/Karan

M-114, Mall Road             Delhi             Date: 20th March, 20XX             The Commissioner             Delhi Police             Subject: Increasing cases of Road Rage             Dear Sir,                         I am writing this letter to bring to your kind notice, the problem of- increasing cases of road rage. Day by day it is becoming a serious problem which should be sorted out as quickly as possible. We often come across many incidents like minor scratch, a little push or a small brushing past leading to scuffles which escalate quickly and sometimes result even in murder. Every day, there are many fatal accidents, the number of hit and run cases are also rising. In Delhi alone, 532 people died in road accidents in the year 2014. It is observed that people are losing patience and tolerance due to their modern lifestyle. They begin to fight over minor issues. The feeling of ignorance, irresponsibility, lawlessness and indifference is prevailing. Everybody is taking undue advantage of the freedom provided to them by the democracy.                         Now it?s high time to realize the need of the hour. I hope the concerned authorities would realize the gravity of the situation and put a check to these people and their activities either by imposing penalties or fines.             Yours Truly             Karuna/karan
