From Gomathi No 1, Salai Street Selvi Nagar Tirunelveli 22.2.2002 To The Editor The Thanthi PQR Road Tirunelveli. Sub: Stop polluting the Tamirabarani River Respected Sir/Ma'am I am Gomathi, a resident of the Sanjeevani colony beside the thamirabarani river. I have been residing in this colony for the past six months. Through your daily, I would like to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned about the pollution of the Thamirabarani river. It is a sad note that people residing in and around the river bed throw all their waste or dump garbage into the river water. It has also been observed that they throw plastic bags too. Though dustbins and containers have been provided there, the public does not use them. This letter lets me appeal to the public that they need to clean the river and not pollute it. I appeal to the authorities to take the necessary action to prevent this from happening in the future. If this topic is published in your daily, It might affect at least a few of the residents to make a change, and they might not throw any waste in the river and save our thamirabarani river. Thank you Yours faithfully Gomathi |
