Campaign against illegal parkings-continued

Dear Friends,
The response to the campaign against extortion in the name of parkin-lots, that I have started, has been very encouraging. I have been receiving a lot of moral support and some sections of the media have also stepped forward to lend a hand in this campaign. However, my demand to you goes beyond moral support only. I am looking for some ACTION. Now, the word action has very broad connotations. But, THE SINGULAR ACTION THAT I WANT FROM YOU is that each one of you should write a letter to District Magistrate, Lucknow expressing your opposition to the present scenario of parkings in the city. If you have some experience of the kind that I have described or the kind that Toolika has described, please mention that experience along with details such as time, date,location etc (if possible) in your letter. If you want you can mention my name in the letter and remind the DM that a complaint in this regard is already pending in his office. Further, when you write this letter to DM, Lucknow, Please print it in two copies and mark a copy to me at G K BANSAL, 3/61 VIKAS NAGAR, LUCKNOW-226022. I know that it will take some effort on your part to write a letter and send it by snailmail (regular post) in the age of e-mail. But beleive me, one such letter from you ( with a copy to me) will help to put the extent of the problem in front of the authorities in its full enormity. Your letter really counts. One letter is like one vote. And I think that all of us will agree that in a democracy the most powerful agent of change is a vote.
