Subject: Illegal encroachment of footpaths and roads
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities towards the increasing problem of illegal encroachment of footpaths and roads by shop owners and vendors.
Roadside encroachment by shopkeepers and vendors is very common these (now a) days. It has become a menace. We have been watching this position for a long time. Generally, Roads and footpaths are meant for public or peddlers and hawkers but they are blocked by the various types of goods and materials by the shopkeepers. These are used by shopkeepers as extensions of their shops and showrooms. It creates a lot of problems and difficulties for others. It causes traffic jams as well as accidents because these encroachment block the view of traffic. People unaware of such materials slip and fall. Moreover, some of them even get a bone fracture.
Now, it is a time to (curb this menace) take necessary actions against shop owners or vendors. The authorities should impose heavy fines on them. If the problem still persists, the authority should seize/ confiscate (जब्त) the material lying on the roadside besides imposing heavy fines.
I hope that my letter will get an appropriate space in your esteemed newspaper.
Yours faithfully
Raman
