Respected sir,

I the undersigned,on behave of other commuters, want to inform you about the problems faced by commoners due to reckless driving of public vehicles. Death rates are increasing due to rough driving ,the driver as well as the common people becomes the sufferers and even some lose their lives. Street should be the place where every person should feel safe to walk around. Increasing of speed limitations posters, traffic lights should be increased and people violating those must face consequences. Overtaking is another ill effect of reckless driving. Use of mobile phones during driving is also the reason behind accidents. Young generation is inspired by the media and become more fascinated towards bike racing and this way many lose their lives. Every life is precious,a little maintance is important to live long.

I will be highly obliged if you go through my concern and ask the administration to take necessary steps to deal with the menance.

    Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Debarpita Bhattacharjee.
