Subject: The growing menace of electronic waste

Dear Sir/Madam,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw attention to the rapidly rising problem of electronic waste in our cities. Discarded phones, chargers, and appliances are dumped carelessly, releasing toxic metals that pollute soil and water and endanger the health of waste-pickers.

I suggest that the authorities set up designated e-waste collection centres in every locality, encourage manufacturers to run take-back schemes, and run awareness drives in schools and residential areas. Citizens, too, must stop mixing e-waste with household garbage.

Timely action can turn a growing hazard into a recyclable resource.

Yours faithfully,

Kabir Sen …
