Respected Sir/Madam,
We, the students of Vidyaniketan School, Bangalore, would like to bring to your notice regarding the dirt and garbage collected surrounding the school premises. The whole area is facing a mess from the mosquitoes breeding and diseases caused by them. Due to heavy rains, the water has been logged and caused this issue.
