Question. The street lights in your locality have not worked for a month and the road is unsafe after dark. Write a letter to the Municipal Commissioner asking for them to be repaired.
22, Hill View Colony, Kankanady, Mangaluru — 575002. 3rd November 2026 The Municipal Commissioner, Mangaluru City Corporation, Lalbagh, Mangaluru — 575003. Dear Sir, Subject: I am writing to complain that the street lights in our colony are not working. I hope you are doing well. I am a resident of Hill View Colony and a student of Class 10. The street lights on our main road have not worked for over a month. It's very dark after 7 pm and people don't feel safe walking. Last week an elderly neighbour fell near the temple because she couldn't see a pothole. Many students come back from tuition late and there parents are worried. We have called the ward office twice but nobody has come. I request you to kindly look into this matter and get the lights repaired as soon as possible so that the residents can walk safely again. We will be very thankful to you. Yours sincerely, Ananya Rao
