          Sir,

                   I would like to bring the following incident regarding the water-havoc that had happened in the lake of Ooty last week. First of all I express my anguish over the incident and over the negligence of parents and teachers. Kindly publish in your esteemed newspaper the following suggestions to avoid such accidents.

          If parents are careful and watchful of their children, these kind of accidents will not occur. First of all, parents should not encourage their children to go to the picnics of their own. Sometimes, children go to the picnics without intimating their parents. In such cases, children should not be allowed to make boat journeys. Thirdly, the owners of the boat should engage professional swimmers in their boats. In case of  such accidents they will save the victims(బాధితులు).

          Hope you will publish these suggestions in your newspaper.

          Thanking you sir,

                                                                  Yours sincerely,

                Sir,

                                I would like to bring the following news item regarding the collapsed building. First of all I express my anguish over the incident and over the negligence of the particular authorities. Kindly publish in your esteemed newspaper the following suggestions to avoid such accidents.

                I am a resident of Krishna Lanka, Vijayawada. Yesterday at about 7 a.m., old building collapsed and nearly 10 people were killed and several others were injured. Such type of accidents are happening frequently here and there. But the authorities are not taking any active steps to avoid such incidents. It is the talk of the town that the negligence of the departmental people is the cause for such incidents.

                Hope at least now the authorities open their eyes and take immediate actions to avoid such terrible accidents. I wish this should be the last incident of this kind.

                Thanking you sir,
