A Scene At A Polling Booth

 

                                                                         A Scene At A Polling Booth

The Election Day this year was full of excitement. My school was one of the polling centres. There was feverish activity on the booth. The rush of voters was increasing gradually. There were cars, minihuses and rickshaws used by different candidates to bring voters from their homes. This was, of course, wrong but nobody seemed to mind. There were also stalls where free soft drinks were offered to the voters and sympathizers. The polling officer enquired from the voters their names and other particulars recorded in the electoral roll. He also verified every voter’s identity card before issuing the ballot paper. Before casting the vote, an indelible ink mark was put on every voter’s left forefinger. Polling was brisk especially in the afternoon and the booths were closed exactly at 5 p.m. Luckily there was no unhappy  incident. I returned home tired but satisfied.

Sir

 

Kindly publish the following few lines about the need for environmental awareness. It is one of the biggest problems the modern man faces today. The air we breathe in, the water we drink, and the food we cat are all polluted. Smoke and other chemical wastes of the factories have poisoned the air and water. The result is the breakout of several deadly diseases like cancer. It is a collective responsibility of all Indians to save our

environment. Unauthorized felling of the trees should be checked. New methods should he developed to minimize the effect of the smoke let out by the autos and chimneys. In the end I want to say that. “When all the trees are cut down and all the rivers poisoned, oniy then man will know that money cannot he eaten.”

 

Yours faithfully

Sub: The problem of begging

Kindly allow me to air through your columns one grave problem faced by our country today. This is the problem of begging. It has become a profession for some people because it is the easiest way to earn a living. There are many gangs that kidnap small kids and force them to become beggars. Some criminals also beg to hide their crimes. Begging should he abolished by law. Able-bodied beggars should be forced to work. People should not give any alms to beggars. The government should help the handicapped and helpless persons. Thus the combined effort of the government and the people can end this evil,

Yours faithfully
