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

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
