Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to bring your attention towards an ongoing issue in our locality. I live in the locality of Dilworth at the park closer to my place is Green leaf park. So, from two weeks there are some individuals who are letting their dogs unleashed in the playground.

Last week I went to the park with both of my sons to relax for sometime, but one of a large dog probably a bully started running towards us, he was not friendly and tried to bite my younger son. Although my son was lucky and did not got hurt, this incident deeply traumatized him . Further, these dogs are also destroying the plants and small lights at the side. Every evening there are 3 to 4 dogs roaming freely. All the residents are quite frightened.

I suggest you to send someone from the city to ticket these people who did not care about the safety of the the neighbours. Additionally, you can also install CCTV cameras by which there can be a clear footage of the current situation.

I will wait to hear back from you.

Your faithfully,

Ekjot.
