Letter to the Municipal Chairman regarding Garbage Removal

Question: Write a letter to the Chairman of the Municipality about the irregular removal of garbage in your locality.

To,
The Chairman,
Bankura Municipality,
Bankura.

Subject: Complaint against irregular removal of garbage

Sir,

I, a resident of Ward No. 12 of your municipality, would like to draw your urgent/kind attention to the deplorable sanitary conditions in our locality.

For the last ten days, the municipal garbage cleaners have not visited our area. As a result, the vats are overflowing, and heaps of waste are lying scattered on the roads. The rotting garbage emits a nauseating smell, making it impossible to pass by. Moreover, it has become a breeding ground for flies and mosquitoes, increasing the risk of diseases like malaria and dengue in our neighborhood.

I, therefore, request you to take immediate steps for the regular removal of garbage to restore a healthy environment in our locality.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
Dated: February 9, 2026
