You are Sadasivam. You recently visited your native town in Vellore. You happened to accompany your grandmother to your family temple. You were shocked to notice the poor condition and maintenance of the temple. Write a letter to the Editor of local newspaper highlighting the poor condition of the temple.

Answer» Mr.Sadasivam Subash street Sathuvachary Vellore 21st June, 2020 To The Editor The Hindu Bose Bank Road Vellore Sir / Madam Sub: Poor maintenance of the Temple This is to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned over the deliberate damage done to Vinayagar Temple in Sathuvachary. What shocks me most is the negligence and indifference of the civic authorities to the maintenance and conservation of these temples frequently visited by tourists. These temples are not only the irreplaceable symbols of our past culture and traditional importance, but also a very rich source of earnings. If foreign and local tourists stop visiting these places because of poor maintenance, the consequences will be quite massive. The damaged areas of these buildings must be improved and repaired. Installation of CCTV cameras, putting sentries on duty, sanitation, and providing some facilities for the tourists also must be looked into. In the absence of proper restrooms, the immediate surroundings of these places have become very unhealthy. Through the columns of your venerated daily I appeal to the concerned authorities of HRC to look into the problem and do the needful. After all these temples are symbols and treasures of our cultural heritage. Through this letter, let me request the public to showcase their civic responsibilities. I also appeal to the authorities to take the necessary action to maintain a congenial atmosphere to worship the deity Yours truly, Sadasivam To The Editor. The Hindu Bose Bank Road Vellore |
