City Municipal Authority

Subject: Request for Regular Pruning of Overgrown Trees and Shrubs
Dear Sir/Madam,
This is to draw your attention to the problem of overgrown trees and shrubs in our neighbourhood. These plants have grown excessively and are blocking roads and streetlights, which reduces visibility on the roads. Falling branches may also pose a potential safety risk, especially during the monsoon season.
I kindly request that you delegate personnel to prune and maintain these trees and shrubs regularly. This will ensure the area remains safe and well-lit for the community.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Chhavi Pathak
