Sakshi Tiwari, told PM Modi that her school, in the suburbs of Navi Mumbai doesn't have a playground.

Mumbai: A student of class 9 in Mumbai heard Prime Minister Narendra Modi speak about letters from people across the country on his radio address 'Mann Ki Baat' and decided to write one of her own.
