IELTS letter - Government plans to construct an airport in your locality. Write a letter to the authority. - Explain where you came to know about the news. - Describe the negative effects of airport construction - Ask to consider alternate sight for airport construction

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to express my concern about the plan of construction of an airport in Model Town. I got this information from a local newspaper of our area.

My name is Indroop Singh and I am a resident of Model Town, Ludhiana. This area is very well developed and there is a school, a college and a very big multi-speciality hospital. The hospital in our area is a big asset for the people. This has been here for the past 50 years now and has benefited not only the people of our locality but also the people of the neighbouring areas. An airport in this area would bring a lot of noise pollution and congestion in the area. The big park which you intend to include in the airport site would also be a big loss for the people.

Our area is already very congested. An airport here would bring even more congestion. As it is, there is an international airport at Amritsar which is only 200 km away. So, I urge you to please reconsider your plan and drop the idea of an airport. If at all you have to construct an airport at Ludhiana, please make it in the suburbs, so that city people are not affected negatively.

Hoping for a prompt consideration of this urgent request!

Yours faithfully,

XYZ
