Subject: Vandalism at Historical Monuments — Need for Urgent Action
Sir/Madam,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I wish to draw public attention to the alarming vandalism taking place at our city's historical monuments. Visitors are etching graffiti on ancient walls and littering the surrounding areas, causing irreparable damage to our cultural heritage.
I suggest the following measures:
- Deploy security guards and install CCTV cameras at all monuments.
- Impose heavy fines on those caught vandalising or littering.
- Put up signboards highlighting the heritage value and rules of conduct.
- Conduct awareness campaigns in schools and colleges about preserving monuments.
- Encourage local citizens to report such irresponsible behaviour.
These monuments are our national treasure. Protecting them is our collective responsibility.
Yours sincerely
Dharti Pradhan
