Sir,

In an article in your notable newspaper you dealt with the problem of street beggars in our country and you invited the readers to participate with their opinions how to end this horrible phenomenon.

I shall be very grateful if you kindly consider these few lines and publish them in your esteemed paper.

Some beggars, no doubt, deserve our sympathy. They are handicapped. As a result, they are unable to earn their living. However, the shame is that most of the beggars in our streets are able-bodied and are in good health. Begging has become a profession for them. They find it the easiest way to earn their living. Some of them are criminals. They beg only to hide their crimes. This large-scale begging is an insult for our country.

Begging should be abolished by law. It should be made a punishable crime. The government and the Civil Society should open asylums for those beggars who are really helpless such as the disabled, the widows and the orphins. Able-bodied beggars should be forced to work. If they go without work, they must also go without food. We should have no sympathy for such impostors. We should not encourage them by giving them alms. The government, NGOs and all citizens can thus play a big role in ending this evil which stains our country.

Yours faithfully

JDonne
