To,
The officer in charge,
Begampur police station,
Begampur, west Bengal
Subject: an application to complain against the rising anti-social activities in locality.
Respected sir,
I beg to state that I am a permanent resident under your police station want to complain against anti-social activities. It was under control when police guard was there at nights. But after stopping night guards anti-social activities are increasing rapidly in our area. People cannot go out even in evening in the fear of getting robbed or snatched their things. Girls cannot go out at nights even when they need some emergency works. They are facing difficulty in continuing normal activities like tuitions, office and other classes. We are basically facing trouble to fulfil our regular needs in the fear of anti-social activities. We are extremely worried about the future of children in this area. They will not get proper education and environment to be a good human being if they get used to see such activities.
So, my request is to take actions of putting night guards again and take strong actions to stop such anti-social activities.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Sagarghosh
