There are more beggars in our country than any other. They are found in all places like public parks, gardens, market places, streets and lanes as well as trains and buses. They not only present a sorry sight for everyone, including foreigners but they are a positive nuisance especially in buses and trains. They stand at the bus stops and as soon as the bus halts they climb in. Every railway station is crowded with them.
Some of them are suffering from infectious diseases and therefore they are a great menace to public health.
The law prohibits begging. Since it is the duty of the authorities to see that the law is properly enforced, it is also the duty of the people to see that they do not encourage these beggars by giving them alms.
There are other ways of giving charity. This method of encouraging beggary must come to an end.
