7. 22-B Mandakini Apartment New Delhi 7 July 2021 The Editor The Daily Express New Delhi Subject: Illegal parking of buses and trucks causing a nuisance to the residents of localities Sir Through the columns of your esteemed daily I would bring to light the woes caused by illegal parking of buses and trucks in residential colonies.   These vehicles are a constant cause of trouble to the residents living in these localities. I have noticed buses and trucks parked illegally outside the gate of our residential building. In an emergency or even during normal working hours, one must hunt down the drivers of these vehicles. Children hardly have any space to play outdoor games in their colonies because of the cramped space. I appeal to the authorities to take remedial action regarding this serious problem. Buses should be parked in a bus depot, and trucks should have their own space to park. Residential colonies and the parking space made available to them are meant only for the people who live there. Yours truly Ranjit Arora
