Dear Sir
Winter arrives in nature right after the autumn with the northern wind covering our faces in thick fog. Dew drops fall on the grass. At this time, the hustle and bustle of making pitha puli with date molasses is fairly common. However, for some, winter is very difficult, like a new struggle for survival. Although the winter days are festive for the upper and middle classes, they are a terrible suffering for the lower classes and the backward people of the society. When winter comes, the uprooted and hard-working people of the capital suffer the most.
In this bitter winter, when we are deep asleep under the warm blankets, thousands of homeless floating people are spending sleepless nights. When we enjoy the winter by wrapping ourselves in warm clothes and sipping on a steaming cup of tea on a winter morning, helpless people are lying on the roadside, on the sidewalk, in bus and railway stations. They lie under the open sky, wrapped in jute sacks and torn clothes, curling up in the cold from time to time.
Above all, I am drawing the attention of the responsible government bodies to alleviate the suffering of the helpless people in winter.
