Question

You are Rahul / Rita, a student of DRK World School, Preet Vihar, Prem Nagar. You have recently noticed that the street in front of the school is being used as a thoroughfare by vehicles because of the construction work on the main street. This has led to a number of near fatal accidents involving school students who have become vulnerable to road injuries and exposure to toxic air and noise pollution while going to school.
Write a letter to the Editor of a local daily in about 120 words highlighting the problem. You may also suggest possible solutions such as road safety signages, speed breakers, traffic timings.

Hint:

In formal letters to the editor, your tone should be constructive and respectful. Provide a clear suggestion along with reasons, and support your suggestion with practical ways to implement it. This strengthens your argument and makes the suggestion more feasible.
