Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request additional sports facilities for young adults in Guru Hargobind Nagar, Phagwara, as the existing options are insufficient for working professionals.

Currently, the only available sports ground belongs to Government High School, where children regularly play cricket and hockey. Unfortunately, there are no dedicated facilities for adults who wish to participate in sports after working hours.

I would therefore suggest converting the vacant plot beside the school, which is currently used for dumping rubbish, into a well-equipped indoor sports complex. Facilities such as badminton courts, table tennis areas and a small fitness centre would be particularly beneficial.

These improvements would encourage young professionals to adopt healthier lifestyles, reduce stress and engage in regular physical activity. Moreover, the proposed complex could serve as a recreational space for the wider community.

I would appreciate your consideration of this proposal and look forward to a positive response.

Yours faithfully,

Kuldeep Singh
