Subject: Neighbours repeatedly flouting quarantine rules
Sir,
I am Tabassum a resident of Satya Nagar and want to bring to your attention that some of my neighbours are continuously flouting the quarantine rules even after being tested covid19 positive. Two members of the infected family are moving openly and that too without a mask.
The second floor of House no. 39 in the opposite street is occupied by two college boys living as paying guests. Many outsiders keep visiting these boys. It can be dangerous in this tough time of highly infectious coronavirus disease. The owner of the house is a couple of senior citizens who are worried about their health.
I request immediate intervention from the police so that this disease can be contained at the right time and residents can feel safe and secure.
Yours Sincerely,
Tabassum

Subject- Residents repeatedly flouting quarantine rules
Sir
I am Tabassum a resident of satay Nagar and want to bring to your attention that some of my neighbors are continually flouting the quarantine rules even after some of them have been tested positive for covid 19.all of them are ignoring the situation and are moving out of their homes unnecessicearly that too without a mask.
A whole family has tested positive for covid 19 but they are not restraining themselves from staying in their home instead they are busy in their regular routine. It is becoming dangerous for us from stepping our feet out of our homes. It is also becoming difficult for ladies to bring essential commodities from nearby shops.
I request immediate intervention from the police so that this disease can be contained at the right time and residents can feel safe and secure.
Yours Sincerely,
Tabassum
