To,
The Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, city
Subject: Complaint regarding garbage not being collected in Ward no., area (opposite the community park)
Respected Sir / Madam,
1. I, Ramesh Kumar Sharma, a resident of Ward no., area, wish to bring to your kind notice the serious problem of garbage not being collected in our locality, near opposite the community park, which has been going on for the last two weeks. This is causing a foul smell and mosquitoes, and is a health risk for children and elderly residents.
2. Efforts already made. I complained on the municipal helpline on 12 September (complaint no. 90155) and to the ward sanitary inspector on 14 September, but the problem continues.
3. Effect on the residents.
- Foul smell and mosquitoes in the whole lane
- Risk of dengue, malaria and other diseases for children and the elderly
- Difficulty in walking and a danger of accidents
4. Request. The municipal body has the duty to provide and maintain basic civic services such as sanitation, drainage, water, street lighting and roads. I therefore request you to send a team to clear the problem within a week, fix the cause permanently, and inform us of the action taken.
5. Names and signatures of 12 residents of the lane are attached, and we are all prepared to meet the officer concerned and to show the site. Photographs of the site and a copy of the earlier complaint, if available, are enclosed.
6. If the matter is not attended to within a reasonable time, we shall have no option except to take it to the higher authorities, the Director of the Local Bodies, the public grievance portal of the state and, if needed, the courts. We hope that this will not be necessary.
7. Effect on the residents. The problem affects the health, the safety and the daily life of the residents, including children, senior citizens and patients. It has continued for a long time, and every delay increases the risk of disease and accidents, and the cost of the repair.
8. Our request. We request you to inspect the spot within a week, to fix a date for the work, to inform us of the plan and the date by which it will be done, and to send a senior officer to visit the area. We are ready to give you our support and any information, and we can show you the place whenever you wish.
Please acknowledge this letter and give us a complaint number. We shall be grateful for your quick action.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Ramesh Kumar Sharma
On behalf of the residents of Ward no., area
