To,

Barrackpore block,

Subject: application for sinking a deep tube well in our locality.
Respect sir,
I beg to state that I am a permanent resident of your block for long 15 years. I live in a village where people still face problems regarding pure drinking water and roads. Villagers especially women have to go far away to another village for collecting pure drinking water. For other purposes of using water they manage with ponds, streams and rivers. But they cannot drink unclean and impure water. In some past years people suffered many fatal diseases which are water prone due to presence of impure water. It is the urgent need of our locality to get a deep tubewell which can be used to bring water.
So, it is my humble request to you to look forward this matter soon. Take necessary actions for sinking a deep tube well in our village as early as possible.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Anish hazra
