Curses of begging

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Through the columns of your admire paper, I want to draw the attention of our political leadership, rulers and the public towards the troubles and issues created by begging in our society. It is like a disease that is damaging our society and its fabrics.

Begging is a profession and most of the beggars use begging as a cover and proven as gangsters, kidnappers, and dacoits. Most people love to give alms to even healthy beggars. Such beggars must be discouraged.

MEHWISH MAHFOOZ,

Karachi
