    Letter to the Editor

    A letter to the editor is a written way of talking to a newspaper, magazine, or other regularly printed
    publication. Letters to the editor are generally found in the first section of the newspaper, or towards the
    beginning of a magazine, or in the editorial page. They can take a position for or against an issue, or simply
    inform, or both. They can convince readers by using emotions, or facts, or emotions and facts combined.
    Letters to the editor are usually short and tight, rarely longer than 250 words.
    Using a few carefully placed letters, you can generate plenty of community discussion. You can also keep
    an issue going by preventing it from disappearing from the public eye. You can stimulate the interest of
    the news media and create more coverage for the matters you're working on. You can also send a ‘good
    news’ letter to bring recognition to people who deserve it or acknowledge the success of an effort.

    • Express an opinion
    • Complaint against a social problem
    • Refer to the situation/viewpoint that you wish to highlight

    Example

    Write a letter to the editor of the Deccan Chronicle about the poor and unhygienic condition of the
    Corporation Land adjoining your school premises. It has become a health hazard for your school children.
    You are Amrita/Anurag of the SSVG Senior Secondary School, Chennai.

    Subject: Inefficiency of the municipal authorities

    Sir

    Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities to the filthy
    corporation land next to the SSVG Sr. Sec. School, Chennai.

    Students come to school, in search of education and values. School is a place where children are taught to be
    educated and responsible citizens of the world, to be environment friendly and keep their surroundings clean.
    However, the land adjoining the school premises is in a deplorable condition, as domestic waste and garbage
    of the neighboring houses are thrown here with no one from the Municipality to clean it. With the spread of
    Zika virus on the rise, it is alarming to see the inefficiency of the authorities. One case of malaria has already
    been registered by one student of the school.

    I have written to the concerned authorities earlier, but no action has been taken so far. I hope this serves as
    a wake-up call to the authorities and strict action is taken, before it becomes a major health hazard.

    Yours truly

    Sample Letter

    Q1. You are Parul Saxena of New Delhi. You are greatly concerned of the noise pollution that is increasing
    at an alarming rate causing inconvenience and health hazards to the people. Write a letter to the Editor,
    Times of India, highlighting the problem and drawing attention of the concerned authorities. Also suggest
    some remedial measures.
    B-22, Lajpat Nagar

    10th April 2018

    The Editor,
    The Times of India,
    New Delhi-110 001.

    Sir, Space

    Sub: Increasing problem of noise pollution.

    Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned
    authorities towards increasing problem of noise pollution which is causing great damage to the health of
    the general public.
    Increasing number of vehicles on the roads, rising growth of factories, construction work, loudspeakers
    used on various occasions, are various factors responsible for causing noise pollution. Noise control laws
    are openly violated.
    Increasing noise pollution is a big threat to the health and fitness of the people. If the noise pollution is
    allowed to go unchecked it may rob the people of their hearing capacity. It leads to irritation, loss of
    sleep, rest and peace. It is harmful to physical and mental health of people. Frequent loud noise affects
    the working efficiency of the people.
    It is time that the authorities strictly enforced the noise control laws. The noise producing factories located
    in the residential areas should be shifted to far-off places without any delay. The use of loudspeaker should
    be banned after specific time. Giving preference to mass public transport system can be very helpful.
    Above all, public needs to be aware and cooperative against the danger of noise pollution because, without
    public cooperation, authorities cannot make much difference.
    It is earnestly hoped that the Municipal authorities will take immediate and urgent necessary action against
    those responsible for noise pollution and relieve the people from its harmful effects. Prompt and effective
    preventive measures if taken, will undoubtedly benefit the community at large.

    Yours faithfully
    Sd/
    Parul Saxena
