Model Answer

Jhunjhunu Colony,
Rajasthan.
15 July 20XX

The Commissioner,
Works Department,
Rajasthan Municipal Corporation.

Subject: Urgent need for installation of street lights in Jhunjhunu Colony

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am Nirmala, a resident of Jhunjhunu Colony. I am writing to draw your urgent attention to the complete absence of street lighting in our colony, which has become a serious safety hazard.

Over the past few months, our locality has witnessed a series of road accidents and petty crimes, primarily due to poorly lit streets. Residents, especially women and elderly citizens, feel unsafe stepping out after dark. Thieves and anti-social elements take advantage of the darkness.

I request you to kindly arrange for the immediate installation of street lights throughout the colony. Prompt action will prevent further accidents and ensure residents' safety.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Nirmala
