Sir

Sub: Limiting the number of vehicles and cars 

 Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I want to highlight the damaging effect of the growing vehicles and cars on the environment and the general health of the masses.

The advent of `Maruti’ brought a revolution in the road culture of India. With the liberalization of our economy, many Korean, Japanese, American, and European companies started producing lakhs of vehicles, trucks, and cars every year. Within the last two decades, the number of vehicles has reached an unmanageable limit. The growing prosperity of the middle classes has added to the craze of owning new Fords, Hyundais, Mercedes, BMWs, and Hondas. This has led to disastrous results. The smoke these guzzlers emit pollutes the air making it unsafe for human use. Respiratory diseases and asthma have shown a marked rise in recent years.

 I suggest that the Government must limit the number of vehicles on the roads. Only one car be allowed to one family. Those who own bigger cars using more petrol or diesel must be taxed. The government must promote a cheap and comfortable public transport system. The number of buses and metro-trains should be increased. I hope all these measures will bring order and peace on the roads of India.

Yours faithfully
