Wave in beggars, citizens distressed

A study conducted by Daily Express in Hyderabad’s markets and bazaars revealed that as Ramazan draws to the end, and Eid is approaching, the influx of professional male and female beggars has increased significantly. The city’s main roads, crosses and markets are now crowded with them. Especially female beggars, often accompanied by young children, use emotional tactics to force citizens to offer alms.

This growing presence not only causes disadvantages to shoppers, but has also led to an increase in pocket thistles and theft events.

Occupying key placements

Professional beggars have created permanent spots at larger intersections, U-turns and areas with slow moving traffic. When the day begins, they occupy their positions and pray persistently from citizens all day. Female beggars often spread a sheet on the roadside as their children approach pedestrians with outstretched hands and request help.

Some beggars appear extremely poor to evoke sympathy, while others have handwritten notes requesting financial support. The moment a passer -by looks at them, they move closer and ask for help, and often force the individual to give them some money.

Influx of non-room

A significant number of these beggars have traveled to Hyderabad from other districts and provinces. More are expected to arrive when Ramazan reaches his last days. Operating in small groups, they roam the streets, neighborhoods, mosques, markets and other public spaces. Their strategy is such that if a beggar receives help from someone, others will immediately gather around and call for help as well and leave the charity without any choice other than expanding help to more individuals.

Buyers find this situation worrying, especially as some beggars require specific items such as medicine, milk, bread or cooked food instead of money, making it difficult for citizens to deny them.

Rise in pocket thint and theft

With the increasing number of beggars, pocket thirst and theft cases have also increased. Markets and malls are now hotspots for such crimes. Reports show an increase in stolen purses and valuables, especially among female shoppers.

Police sources claim that some pickpockets explain themselves as beggars and wait for an opportunity to steal cash and other valuables from unsuspecting citizens. This trend has resulted in financial losses for many and added stress during shopping trips.

Beggars transported via rickshaws

There have been cases where groups of beggars arrive in designated places in Rickshaws every morning. They pray all day and return in the evening and suggest an organized network behind their operations.

Under Ramazan, citizens donate more in charity and alms compared to ordinary days from which these professional beggars benefit. Some FEIGN Disability, while others have fake medical prescriptions or notes with request for help.

In addition, beggars are seen knocking on doors in residential areas and mosques, disguised as individuals in need. If they are denied cash, they request foods to ensure help in any way.

Citizens are encouraged to distinguish between truly needy individuals and professional beggars while exercising caution in their charitable giving.
