Q. 3. Your school has received the following letter: 5
The Principal
City Public School
Shillong
Dear Principal,
I am writing to highlight the fact that many people still suffer from asthma because of excessive crackers being burnt during Diwali. This year in addition to the health hazard there is also a serious economic crunch due to steep rise in prices of all essential commodities. Besides helping patients, environment and family budgets, the money saved by not buying huge amounts of expensive crackers can also be used to provide essential medicines and food for the homeless. Hence I request you to tell your school students to help their parents and think of the environment and the deprived, specially this Diwali. Donations if any will be received into the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund.
Yours faithfully
Manish Dua
Mayor
