To: The Director, Social Welfare Department, Islamabad From: XYZ, Staff Reporter, The Nation, Islamabad Subject:

Beggars and Begging in the Main Bazar of Islamabad. Date: 11-01-2010 Dear Sir, Introduction I was asked by the Director, Social Welfare Department of the Government of Pakistan to report on the beggars found begging in the Main Bazar of this city.I visited different areas of my district during the whole month of January. This assignment was designed to categorize the beggars and to suggest how the social evil of begging can be eradicated. Report I visited the Main City Bazar and the situation regarding beggars and begging is as follows: a. There are three categories of beggars in this over-crowded market. The first one is the able-bodied male and female beggars. They are approximately of the age of forty onwards and are found begging in the name of religion and humanity. They sometimes recite verses of Holy Quran and sometimes sing religious/ devotional songs. As a consequence, God-fearing people give alms instead of asking these beggars to work. b. The second category is that of the invalid male and female beggars. These are the beggars who mostly have broken their arms or legs themselves or their keepers have done this. They sit on carts pulled by their able-bodied companions or walk on crutches or crawl or just sit on the road sides. Passersby pay such beggars liberally. c. The third category is of the child beggars. There are thousands of boys and girls begging from car drivers, motor-cyclists and pedestrians. They are seen shamelessly coming close to people asking for alms time and again. Suggestions/Recommendations The radio, TV and newspapers should start a campaign against begging and explain how beggars can work profitably in different fields. Disabled beggars should be lodged in special institutions where some kind of work like stitching or sewing can be provided to them. Or, funds can be collected from the government and rich people to meet their expenses. Child beggars can be adopted by childless parents and made to study or learn special skills in special schools. Conclusion From my observations of beggars and begging, I found that begging is an ever increasing social evil and it should be eradicated from society as soon as possible. The Social Welfare Department can play a vital role in this and I hope that my investigation will pave a smooth way for them to bring considerable improvements. Yours Sincerely,

XYZ
