Answer:
The Editor
The Hindu
Arcadia Centre, 31,

Topsia Road south.
Kolkata- 700046
Subject: Reckless Driving by Public Vehicles.
Sir,
I would like to draw attention to the growing issue of reckless
driving by public vehicles, which has become a serious problem for commuters.
Many driver disregard traffic rules, speed limits, and passenger safety,
leading to frequent accidents and delays. The lack of proper enforcement and
accountability only worsen the situation, putting the lives of passengers and
pedestrians at risk. It is essential that authorities take stronger measures to
regulate public transport, ensure the safety of passengers, and hold drivers
accountable for their action.
Thanking you,
