Answer-Max Public School Mumbai 24th December 2023 The Editor The Hindustan Times Mumbai Subject : Awareness about Animal Rights Sir/Madam Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, | wish to raise awareness about animal rights and the importance of preserving them. | am a student of Max Public School, Mumbai and | am concerned about the extinction of wild animals nowadays. Some animals are getting disappeared from the forests. Deforestation, thirst for adventures, greed for money, and other factors are all contributing to the extinction of wild animals today. Animals, like humans, have the right to live and also contribute to ecological balance. Despite the fact that the government has launched numerous programmes aimed at protecting wild animals, no positive results have been achieved. Some people keep pet animals but do not take proper care of them. This is not called for and government agencies should create laws to check and prevent such incidents. Many private organizations are making efforts but legal intervention willmake strict implementation of rules. | hope you would publish my concern in your widely read newspaper.

Write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper advising people to follow rules while driving vehicles.

We generally notice people driving vehicles so fast. They forget rules of the road in their carelessness or in hurry. Even children below 18 years run the vehicles carelessly without a license. Apart from this, the traffic police appear to be lazily indifferent to the problem of road rage. Often the jumping of red lights is ignored. Even after being caught red handed the culprits are not punished because of their political connections. If proper actions are not taken, road rages will be grown as a serous issue. The traffic police must act sincerely. There should be strict actions against people who are involved in reckless driving and aggressive behavior on the roads. The parents must also be cautious in allowing their minor children to drive on roads. | appeal to the concerned authorities to look into the issue and do the needful. | hope you will publish my concern in your widely read newspaper. Thank you Yours truly Sign- Name- AkshayQ.4. You are Tanvi/Shirish of Safdarjung Development Area, New Delhi. You are extremely disturbed about the attacks on old people living alone.

Make suggestions to the people living alone and the authorities to ensure that such attacks do not take place. Answer- 13, Safdarjung New Delhi 23 December 2023 The Editor New India News New Delhi Subject: Attacks on Old People Sir Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, | want to aware people about the attacks on older folks. Old people are generally physically weak. The result is that they can.t overpower the rogues in the war of muscles, who generally come to loot them. Any resistance from the old people can prove detrimental to their lives. In the locality of Safdarganj Area many incidents of theft, snatching and brutal attacks on the old people have already happened. It is duty of the government to protect thelives of their senior citizens. Thus, all measures for their safety should be adopted to save old people. Though repeated requests in this regard have been made to the concerned authorities but no headway has still been done. Perhaps the lines in your esteemed paper may shake the authorities from their deep slumber. Yours truly Tanvi Bansal
