Malda
                                                                Sub. Scarcity of drinking water
Sir,
    We, the villagers of Sahabajpur , beg most respectfully to state that we live in a flood- stricken area and we are facing great hardship for want of pure drinking water after the recent flood.
More than five thousand people live in our locality. All the tubewells are sub-merged in flood-water and, as a result, the drinking water has become unhygienic.But no step has yet been taken by the Panchayet for sinking new tubewells. Even halogen tablets have not yet been supplied by the workers of the Health Department for making the drinking water pure and free from pollution! As a result, an epidemic may break out at any time.
We hope that you would take necessary steps to solve this problem as early as possible.


                                                                                                              
 Yours faithfully
 Place: Sahabajpur                                                                                 Afreen Khatun
Date:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  1.
