Answer:

  36, Govind puri, New Delhi 14th March, 20XX The Editor The Hindu, New Delhi Subject III Effects of Child Labour Sir, In connection with my research project, I recently visited Manjher, a small town in Madhya Pradesh. I was astonished and disturbed to see the sight of a number of small children, of the age of about ten, working in a glass making factory. They had to work in the hot burning furnaces which are needed for making glass items. At this age, children need personal affection, fresh environment and education. The problem of child labour exists not only in Manjher but also in other towns of the country where children are employed in dhabas, shops, etc. Even in homes some people appoint young girls to work. It is time that the higher authorities take steps to eliminate child labour. I request you to draw the attention of the concerned authorities through the columns of your esteemed newspaper. Thanking you, Yours truly, Mahendra Singh Rajput Or Health Hazards Caused by Junk Food Junk food has become a craze among youth and children today.

Samosas, kachoris, burgers, hot dogs, French fries etc., instantly satiate hunger but the health hazards these food items pose are very harmful. If one cannot completely eliminate these from one's lifestyle, at least make sure to eat these in limited quantities and develop a habit of routine exercise.
