Subject: Urgent Need for Installation of Street Lights in Jhunjhunu Colony
Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your notice the alarming increase in accidents and petty crimes in Jhunjhunu Colony due to poor street lighting. Most of the internal roads and intersections remain poorly lit after sunset, making the area unsafe for residents. Several incidents of theft and road mishaps have been reported in recent weeks. Children, elderly residents, and working individuals returning home late are especially vulnerable. The lack of proper illumination not only encourages anti-social activities but also poses a serious threat to public safety. I request the concerned department to conduct an immediate inspection and install adequate street lights in the affected areas. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of faulty lights should also be ensured to prevent further inconvenience. We hope the authorities will take prompt action to safeguard the well-being of residents and restore a sense of security in the colony. Thank you for your attention. Yours faithfully,
Nirmala Sharma
