Citizens from various cities while expressing their utmost concern over a sudden surge in the number of beggars demanded the authorities concerned to intensify the efforts and conduct raids in different areas and take action against organized professional beggars.
The main purpose of these mafia is to exploit the citizens and loot them financially by any possible means either through begging or by robbing them, said a group of shopkeepers while talking to a private news channel on Sunday. The number of beggars are being increased with every passing day, adding, hordes of beggars are a common sight at various places such as intersections, traffic signals, hospitals, bus stand, railway station and shopping
malls which need to be address on priority basis.
The concerned department should make sure that there are proper laws in practice to discourage this mafia from tightening its roots in society, said a female pedestrian in local bazaar.
