1. Write a letter to the editor The Hindu, Delhi informing the Deteriorating standard of living. Sign yourself as Gopi \ Gajala

Ponnusamy
Lodhi Colony,
Delhi.

1st April, 2012.

The Editor,
The Hindu,
Delhi.

Sir,

Sub: - Deteriorating standard of living in Delhi.

Through the widely read columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to voice my concern over the deteriorating standard of living in Delhi.

A recent survey conducted by Delhi University puts Delhi in the seventh place among Indian cities in the standard of living. It is said that thirty percent of the Delhi’s population is unemployed. The number of slum dwellers is on the increase. The population moving in to the national capital city worsens the problem.

Employment opportunities in both the governmental and the private sector should be increased. Opportunities must be explored to increase self-employment especially in the suburbs. Farm loans could be provided in the suburbs of the city to control the population from moving into the national capital. Slum Clearance Board will have to provide alternative accommodation to the slum dwellers.

I hope my views reflect the voice of the common suffering people.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
Gajala
