Question 1. You are Abha/ Abhay. The problem of the law and order in your area inspires you to write an article on implementing various rules and regulation to restore peace and security. Write the article in the answer sheet in not more than 150 words.
Answer:
Restoring Peace and Security: The Need for Strict Rules and Regulations
By Abha/Abhay
Law and order form the backbone of any civilized society. Unfortunately, recent incidents in our area have highlighted a worrying decline in peace and security, with rising cases of petty thefts, rash driving, and evening brawls. To restore normalcy, the immediate implementation of stringent rules and regulations is essential.
First, local authorities must enforce mandatory police patrolling, especially during late hours. Second, installation of CCTV cameras at vulnerable street corners and entry points will act as a strong deterrent against anti-social elements. Third, active community policing involving local residents can bridge the gap between citizens and law enforcement.
Rules alone cannot succeed without civic participation. Citizens must adhere to traffic laws, report suspicious activities promptly, and cooperate with security personnel. By combining administrative strictness with community awareness, we can transform our neighborhood into a safe and peaceful haven for everyone.
In simple words: This article highlights how strict rules, police patrols, and community cooperation can bring back safety and order to our neighborhood.

Exam Tip: Always give a catchy title, mention the writer's name as provided in the question, and keep your word count within the specified limit (around 120-150 words).
