Tough and complex situation.

One end, it is the month when they can get more from people so can’t blame them for trying.

Hard to differentiate between real needy or fake ones for people who want to give.

There is a need for more organizational work and Govt. control. But what can govt. do if people are there who give money to beggars.

Even rich countries have this problem in different ways besides stop sign/red-light beggars.

Some people ring the bell and ask money for ‘college education’ or trip for ‘humanitarian reason’ with old plastic wrapped letters.

Exactly the major problem is that you can’t differentiate between the real and fake one.

As far as the Government role is concerned, I’m sorry to say that encourage begging with introduction of programs like Benazir support Fund and all that. During flood days, Government itself behaved like beggar for ad and now they are using that ad for getting vote bank. In many districts of rural Sindh, they asked people to come up with CNIC to get cheque of Rs 10,000 and I observe many well-to-do people washing their hands in this behti ganga
