Answer.
Safdarjang Development Area,
New Delhi.
23rd March, 20XX
The Editor,
The New Indian News,
33, Gole Market,
New Delhi.

Subject : Attacks on old people.

Sir,

Through the columns of your reputed newspaper, I show my deep concern and draw the attention of the government towards the growing feeling of fear and insecurity among people due to frequent attacks on old people living alone.

The recent attacks on old people clearly indicate lapses on our part. In addition to this, social media and different reports are creating disharmony instead of doing something constructive. The old people are not safe in their own homes. These attacks have taken away their peace and tranquility. Many old people have lost their lives. This shatters the faith of people in the government.

In order to combat this menace, we should make concerted efforts. Those who are caught and found guilty, should be taught a lesson.

I hope the authorities will be more cautious and initiate stern steps to encounter the enemies of humanity.

Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Tanvi/Shirish
