| Subject | Raise awareness for rising air and noise pollution in Subhash Nagar. |
Respected Sir/Ma’am,
I, Saina Sharma, would like to bring attention to the rising air and noise pollution in my area Subhash Nagar, Nagpur, through your esteemed newspaper.
You have recently begun publishing the air quality index of the city daily. If we observe the index, air and noise pollution are at an all-time high in my area. The air quality index has crossed 210, a rate that is alarming. To add to it, sound pollution is also surging day-by-day. At any given time of the day, 10 minutes at a busy junction will lead to a headache and stress.
We are all aware about the health hazards that these man-made evils cause. It is high time that we understand how it affects us personally. Prolonged exposure to air and noise pollution can cause long-term damage to people's brain, kidneys, liver and health problems ranging from stress, poor concentration, sleep disturbance to cognitive impairment and hearing loss. Our inaction as a society towards this imminent danger is appalling. A state will come where we would not be able to undo the effects of pollution. It is our duty to protect the environment for the present as well as the future generation.
The solution to the problem is not complex. It requires a few changes in our personal as well as business activities. By reducing garbage burning and use of firecrackers, by ensuring that our vehicle has a PUC certificate, by installing purifiers in factories, recycling and reusing, we can control the rise in air pollution. Noise pollution can be minimized by simple changes like keeping volumes of loudspeakers low and reduce honking. If we all come together, we can indeed make a difference. I request you to initiate a campaign for this cause.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,
Saina Sharma
