Subject : Condition of the Historical Monuments 

Sir 

Through the columns of your reputed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of one and all towards the bad condition of our Historical Monuments. They are in ruins as not much care is being taken of them. It is all due to neglect and apathy. 

We all must realise that these monuments are our pride. So the government must pay attention to the proper care and maintenance of these monuments. It should provide funds and should also keep a regular check on the maintenance and upkeep of these monuments. National campaigns like ‘Swachha Bharat‘ should be initiated. Students can also play a major role in this regard. Incentives like free tickets to school groups can be given so that the number of visitors to the monuments increases. Students can also make documentaries, projects, exhibitions to show the people the importance of historical monuments and proper methods should be undertaken for the upkeeping of the national monuments. 

I hope you will publish this letter of mine in your newspaper so that the general public becomes aware of it and pays attention to the cleanliness of these monuments. They must realise not to litter in these monuments. 

Thanking you 

Yours sincerely 

Aruna
