Subject: Ill effects of commercialisation of hill stations

Sir/Madam,

Through your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw attention to the damage being caused to our hill stations by the ever-increasing number of tourists.

To cater to visitors, hotels, shops and restaurants are coming up everywhere. Forests are being cut and hill slopes dug, which increases the risk of landslides. Tourists leave behind plastic bottles, wrappers and other garbage, polluting streams and spoiling the natural beauty. Traffic jams and noise have become common. The local people suffer most, as prices rise, water becomes scarce and their traditional way of life is disturbed.

The authorities must limit new construction, ban plastic, arrange proper waste disposal and fix the number of vehicles entering the hills. Tourists, too, must behave responsibly.

I hope the concerned authorities will act before it is too late.

Yours faithfully,
