The worst issue which Pakistan is facing today is ‘Street Begging’. The Nation is suffering from the crucial situations of Poverty which has forced hundreds of people to commit suicide, forced women to sellout their Children and forced young’s to leave their Homes and start begging. According to latest survey 74% of our people living under poverty line earning less than 4000/Rs per month which is very difficult for a person to live in so little amount, even one cannot imagine to survive. But a Street Beggar is earning more than a Person doing hard slog.

Street begging disturbs Public life because usually this beggar on the Roads, Streets & Bazar’s chasing people for petite amount. To gain more attention and sympathizes they generally irritate public with their disgraceful mannerism. They emotionally black mail the genders by telling their gloomy stories & by showing their disabilities.
Begging is supposed to be an easy source of earning Money. This is the reason that most of the physically fit young persons are usually seen begging on the Streets. This profession now has become an Industry (Mafia) where young men, Women & Children are mostly trained, recruit and relocated. These Beggars and specifically Children come from the Cities of Kohat, Rahim Yaar Khan, Multan, & Rawalpindi.

According to a survey Beggar Children earn 200 or 250 rupees per day and handover entire money to the Mafia (Which works for this profession) and that Mafia keep a big chunk of earning and leave minimum amount with to these Children to take home. This Mafia is taking more benefits of the Street Begging.

A new trend of Begging seems to be more immense in Pakistan that is ‘Hijra’ Begging. They have various techniques to impress Pedestrians by touching their Shoulders Clapping with their typical style and chasing till give them money.

Begging is a profession which boosted up many criminal tendencies in our society like Drug abuse, Narcotics selling, Robbery, Prostitution, Sexual abuse and Coercion.

In all, Beggars are such functionless people who do not have passion to do something positive in their lives. Some Beggars may really be needy, but there number is less. Now, our Government and we the masses have a responsibility to take appropriate measures to eliminate this curse from our Society. The Government should introduce some schemes and trainings through which they can earn their future living. There should be strict Laws to restrict Beggary and Police should have powers to punish those who are responsible for bringing them on Streets. ‘Zakat’ funds should be utilized on deserving persons. Job opportunities should provide to the eligible persons according to their Skills and aptitude. If any professional Beggar, refused to do so than such soulless characters should be severely punished.
