Answer 1

Model Answer (alternate):
45, Shastri Marg,
Kanpur
15 August 2026

The District Magistrate,
Kanpur

Subject: Insanitary conditions in Shastri Marg after the flood

Respected Sir,

Through this letter, I wish to bring to your notice the serious sanitation crisis in our locality following the recent floods. Drains remain choked, drinking-water pipelines appear contaminated near several breach points, and heaps of flood debris have not been cleared even two weeks after the water receded. Residents fear an outbreak of cholera or typhoid if the situation is not addressed quickly.

I earnestly request the district administration to depute a sanitation team to clean the drains and remove debris, to chlorinate or test the water supply, and to set up a temporary health post in the area as a precaution.

I trust that you will look into this matter on priority, given the health risk involved.

Yours faithfully,
Anjali Verma
