APSC JAA Phase II: Write a letter to the Editor of an English Daily expressing concern over the increasing incidents of people spitting on newly painted public murals in Guwahati, and discuss the broader issues of civic sense and public property vandalism.

The Editor,
The Assam Tribune,
Guwahati.

Subject: Rising incidents of spitting on newly painted murals in Guwahati

Sir/Madam,

Through your esteemed daily, I wish to express deep concern over the growing habit of spitting on the newly painted murals across Guwahati. These murals were created to beautify the city and promote cultural awareness, yet many of them are already stained with paan and gutka spit. This reflects a worrying decline in civic responsibility and blatant disrespect for public property.

Such vandalism discourages artists, wastes public funds, and lowers the city’s aesthetic appeal. The authorities should install CCTV coverage, impose strict fines, and conduct awareness drives on cleanliness. Citizens must also recognise that maintaining public spaces is a shared duty.

Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
Guwahati.
