Sir: I am writing to your newspaper to express my deep concern and anguish over the poor state of street lights in our colony that is opposite Karachi University. Almost all the street lights are non-functional. After it gets dark, moving on the streets is dangerous and risky. Driving becomes difficult as the drivers can’t see properly and many accidents have happened owing to poor visibility. Some cases of mobile phones and purse snatching have also been reported and the other antisocial activities are on the increase. Through the medium of your newspaper i appeal to the concerned authorities to look into the matter and make the street lights functional again. I hope you will give space to my voice in your newspaper. MUHAMMAD NAMEER SIDDIQUI Karachi
