Complaint Letter For Poor Drainage Problem
Date: ____________
To
The Municipal Commissioner,
[Address]
Dear Sir
I am sorry to report that the drainage system in our locality leaves much to be desired. The present drainage system is so defective that a good shower would create the whole area into a collection of small lakes and pools. The clogging of rain-water in some of these parts of the city becomes as deep as three feet. Consequently the whole traffic is dislocated and life comes to a grinding halt during rains.
Really it is shocking that the town council authorities have not taken any steps for improving the system so far. Many a time this problem has been brought to the notice of the concerned authorities through the press and other means but nothing has been done. May we hope now that you would immediately look into this matter and take urgent steps to avoid such public nuisance?
Yours sincerely,

Sub.: Complaint letter regarding overflow of drainage in our locality.
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are totally five hundred families residing in our locality. We are facing a severe problem of growing problems of overflow of drainage for the last three months in our locality.
This overflow in drainage causes the problem of bad odour and leads to growth of mosquitoes which may lead to malaria. Small children playing outside the door have already been affected by diarrhea. Sometimes we feel vomiting and nausea.
We have already given many complaints to our local authority. They are always giving us empty promises and doing nothing. So kindly am requesting you to look into this matter personally. If you do the needful then I shall be very much thankful to you.
Yours sincerely,
