LETTER-WRITING is an important channel of communication between people who are geographically distant from one another. In earlier times when the telephone and e-mail were not available, the only means of communication between people was through letters.
So, here I am going to show how you can write a letter. In this article, we will provide you with detailed information regarding the formal letter format about commenting on frequent traffic dislocations in Calcutta. Read on to know everything about formal letter format. Below I have given the full format of a letter, by following which you can write the letter and can apply for.

Sir.
Traffic jams and dislocation of traffic have become a regular feature of Calcutta life. Explosion in population and vehicular traffic without any corresponding increase in road capacity has brought the city to such a mess. Almost everyday long processions are brought out in the main thoroughfares. These dislocate the traffic and put people to severe inconveniences. Trams, buses and cars come to a grinding halt and commuters look on helplessly. Everyone is affected. the ladies and children are the worst sufferers. Even ambulance vans and fire brigade vehicles are not spared. They are very often late in arriving at the hospitals or the affected spots. People miss trains and scheduled flights. In short, normal city life stands paralysed.
The problem should be faced on war footing. Stringent observation of traffic rules and heavy penalties for violation should be enforced. Plying of commercial vehicles through the main thoroughfares should be totally banned during day time. To prevent heavy lorries from entering the city, truck terminals should be established on the outskirts of the city. Restrictions should be imposed on processions and public demonstrations prohibiting them to come out on the main roads. Processions if at all permitted on the main roads, must move in a single file keeping the other half open to traffic. Hawkers must be removed from pavements. The above measures, if implemented properly, will go a long way in alleviating the sufferings of the people.
