Mirpur (Hayat News) Prominent Kashmiri leader and political and social figure Mirza Rashid Baig said that professional beggars should be discouraged. There is a need to keep strict checks and balances at the entry point of Mirpur. The increase in the number of beggars in Mirpur is a matter of concern. Beggars from Punjab have been blowing into the noses of the citizens.
Beggar children beg from citizens with various Islamic books and other Asian things in their hands on the pretext of selling them. Beggar children are roaming on the main roads till late at night. The district administration should take action against these beggars. He expressed these views while talking to the media.
Mirza Rashid Baig said that Mirpur is a peaceful city, but professional beggars from Punjab have made life miserable for the citizens here. Entire families of beggars, including children, are settled in Mirpur. Citizens who go shopping cannot be safe from these beggars.
They have demanded from the district administration that checks and balances be tightened at the entry points of Mirpur and that any beggar who enters Mirpur from Punjab or other cities be sent back immediately. Professional beggars are settled in Mirpur along with their families. This may pose a risk of being involved in theft or other incidents in Mirpur.
