Let us protect our public property

-

The property we use can be classified as public property and private property. Public property can be used by everyone in the society but private property belongs to only one person or to a number of people.

Today public property is being destroyed rapidly. Some people care only about their own property but, we all have the right to use public property without any obstructio­n and we must know to protect them also.

Schools, temples, hospitals, buses and trains can be identified as public property. When we use public property we should know how to use them without damaging them. In school, we have to protect our chairs, tables and other things in the classroom.

Public property belongs to us as well as to the next generation of people in our country. Therefore we should keep in mind to protect them.

Today we can see some elders and children destroy public property. If we destroy public property, the government will collect taxes from all of us to replace or repair this property. We must educate the people about the importance of protecting public property. Elders should advise children to protect public property. It is our duty to protect public property like our own property for the next generation.
