Subject: Urgent Need to Address Pollution at Marine Lines.

Respected Sir,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the increasing pollution at Marine Lines, which has become heavily littered with plastic waste and garbage. As a volunteer with Cleen India, I have personally witnessed the deteriorating condition of this once-beautiful coastal area, which now poses serious environmental and health risks.

The accumulation of plastic waste not only affects marine life but also contributes to water pollution, making the area unhygienic for residents and visitors. If immediate steps are not taken, this issue will only worsen, leading to irreversible damage to the ecosystem.

Reducing environmental damage requires a collective effort. NGOs like Cleen India can organise cleanliness drives and awareness campaigns to educate the public about responsible waste disposal. Individuals must take the initiative to reduce plastic usage and participate in community clean-up efforts. Moreover, government authorities should implement stricter waste management policies, increase the number of dustbins in public areas, and impose penalties for littering.

I urge the concerned authorities and citizens to take immediate action to restore the beauty and cleanliness of Marine Lines. A cleaner environment is not just a necessity but a responsibility we all share.

I hope this letter brings attention to the issue and inspires positive action.

Yours Sincerely,
Manoj
