New Delhi Subject: Alarming Rise in Juvenile Hit-and-Run Cases Sir/Madam, I am writing to draw attention, through your newspaper, to the alarming increase in hit-and-run incidents involving juveniles. These dangerous actions put lives at risk and highlight a deficiency in accountability among young drivers. The primary fault lies with parents who permit minors to operate vehicles. The situation is exacerbated by weak enforcement of traffic laws, peer influence, and insufficient road safety knowledge. To address this issue, strict legal repercussions, consistent road safety campaigns in schools, and parental guidance are essential. Educational institutions should integrate road safety into their curricula. Communities and the media should also actively promote responsible driving habits among young people. Yours sincerely,
Mridula/Mridul
