Answer:

403, D. K. Rainbow

Chunna Bhatti,

Bhopal

15th Oct., 20 …….


The Editor,

The Hindustan Times,

Bhopal:

15th Oct., 20.


Sir,

I would like to draw your attention to the cutting of trees prevailing in our area. As we all know that trees are valuable to us. Trees help to bring rain, keep the air clean, we get fruits from them. Trees help to beautify our surroundings. Hence, cutting of trees shall be a thrust to the environment. If the trees are cut then ecology will be disturbed. The floods shall occur and destroy the crops after rains. So the concerned authorities should take immediate steps to stop the cutting. Strick action should be taken against them.


Thanking you,

Yours Truly

Anurag
