Rakesh Sharma, 
Shiv Sadan, Laxmi Nagar, 
M. G. Road, Kolhapur. 
19th March 2021

The Chief Engineer, 
M.S.E.D.C.L, Head office. 
Kolhapur. 

Subject:- Complaint against frequent failure of electric supply. 

Sir, 
With the reference to the above-mentioned subject I, the resident of the Laxmi Nagar area would like to draw your attention to the problem we have been facing for a long time. There is the frequent failure of electric supply in our area. Being an HSC student I have been preparing for the exam but the failure of the power creates huddles in my pursuit. The frequent fluctuations also damage so many electrical gadgets.

We complained about it many times to the local authorities but no action was taken. So this is my humble request to you to look into this matter and sort it out as soon as possible. 

Thanking you in anticipation. 

Yours Faithfully 

Rakesh Sharma.

1. Anil/Anita Chaudhari student of XIth Commerce A living at Nashik Road, Tycoon Plaza A/702 near Bitco College. You have been commuting daily to KTHM College Gangapur road. You have to apply for a traveling pass so you need a bona fide certificate. Write a letter to the Principal of your college and request him/her to issue you the bona fide certificate.

As a representative of the elderly people write a letter to the medical officer of your area and request him to have a vaccination drive/camp in your area so that the elderly people don't have to face the problems of traveling long distances.
