Sir 

Sub : The Politice of Inaugural Functions and Wastage of Public Funds. 

Through the columns of your esteemed paper, I wish to draw the attention of public as well as the government towards the national waste caused by inaugural functions. 

Inaugural functions have become a common feature in out country. Private as well as government agencies indulge in this practice. High dignitaries and V.I.P.'s, usually politicians and bureaucrats, are called to perform the inaugural ceremony even in the case of a minor event like the Sports Meet of a College. When a V.I.P. visits a place, whole of the government machinery is put into top gear. Security arrangements are tightened. Huge police force is put on security duty.

I was an eye witness to the celebration of the Foundation Day of an Educational Institution. Illuminations continued for three nights. Huge amount of money was spent on tea parties, lunches and dinners to hundreds of people. Many guests were invited from far and near. The chief guest was a political gib wig. Almost all the govbernment officials of the district remained around him, thus disrupting work in offices and causing harassment and inconvenience to general public. Its in estimated that about eighty lakh rupees were spent and it was all done to satisfy the ego of the management of the institution and Chief Guest, of Course.

This is only one very example. Many more are reported day in and day out. Crores of rupees are, thus, wasted. This money can be utilized for same development purpose. It is high time the government and the public checked this national waste. 

Yours truly 

A Concerned Citizen

Sir 

Sub : Appeal for Contributions to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund. 

Through the columns of your paper I wish to appeal to the general public for generous contribution to the Chief Minister's Drought Relief Fund. 

The State is experiencing a severe drought this year. The extent of damage can be assessed by touring the state. At some places there have been no rains for the last two or three years. The land in parched and dry. People have no water to drink and no food to eat. Cattle are dying of hunger and thirst on their lips. Not even a blade of grass in seen at most places. People are fleeing from their homoes in search of food and water.

 The authorities are doing their best. New wells are being dug up. Food and grains are being rushed to these places. Medicines are also being provided to the people. But it in not enough. 

The problem cannot be takled at the government level alone. Generous people should come forward. Through this column, I make an earnest appeal to the general public to contribute liberally to the Drought Relief Fund. 

Yours Truly

Subject : Diminishing number of birds needs immediate concern. 

Sir 

Through the column your esteemed newspaper I would like to draw the attention of concerned authorities, NGOs and the readers towards rapid decrease in the population of birds in Udaipur.Udaipur is known to have more than 500 species of birds but many of them are on the verge of extinction.

According to the reports from the recent seminar held on Conservation of Birds, there was a time, when a number of birds would flock to the banks of lakes, Sajjangarh Wildlife sanctuary and forested canopy in Udaipur. These numbers have come crashing down in the recent years.The main reasons are rampant construction of buildings, bridges and flyovers, filling of swamps,mangroves water bodies , cutting of forests and of course, other ways of environmental pollution.

Many species have become endangered and the thousands of migratory birds flocking in season, which was a feast to our eyes, have left this place to more healthy places.It is time the people of Udaipur were made aware of this grave situation by conducting seminars and workshops and the policy makers and administrator thought over the engulfing problem and found solutions.

The locals should be given incentives for preserving the habitats of birds. Sanction for the construction of buildings, malls, bridges and so on should be given only after proper evaluation of the environmental impact of those constructions over the life of species there.

Let's not forget that birds are an important link in the food chain. I urge the government,environmentalists and the society to show their concern before it is too late. 

Yours truly, 

Sidhi
