City A.B.C.
From: Anas Aleem, a freelance writer
Subject: A report on the workers of Cantonment Board.
INTRODUCTION: The residents of A.B.C. city are facing severe
sewerage problems in different parts of the city. This report is based on a
survey conducted by a team of 10 personnel, all graduates, who studied the case
for 3 weeks, interviewed residents and contacted the concerned authorities.
TEXT & CONCLUSIONS: The problem of keeping the cities
clean is becoming more and more complex. The rainy season being round the
corner, it is time that we focused on the problems that crop up subsequent to
rains. Being out-dated and neglected the sewerage system of the city is on its
last legs. Drains are not cleaned regularly and sufficiently. When the rains
fall, they are choked and water flows over. The concerned department has failed
to make the workers fulfill their responsibilities efficiently. The workers
fearlessly exploit their corrupt officers to the ceaseless frustration and discomfort
of the masses. Our sewerage system poses a great threat to the public health.
It has been observed that congested down town areas are the worst victims of
the problem. Different diseases like cholera, dysentery, influenza and various
skin diseases break out. Hospitals are unable to cope with the patients. The
masses pay taxes and in return must be given the facilities. If immediate
measures are not taken now, the problem will grow out of control.
DATA AT A GLANCE:
Location: Rajabazar.
Population: 1.7 lac.
Drainage: Old and
unpleasant system.
Problem: Drains not
cleaned out for months and sweepers charge people for official work.
Suggestions: It is suggested that:
1. The concerned
department may be directed to prepare area-wise lists of the workers and their
respective heads.
2. This information may
be displayed in the community along with contact numbers for toll free
complaint calls.
3. Officers who enjoy good repute may be assigned important
tasks.
4. Those who have shown better performance may also be awarded cash prizes.
5. Regular survey reports may also be confirmed by physical
checking.
Yours truly,
X.Y.Z
