Beggars’ fortune still a mystery in Delhi

Not a single day goes when I don’t see beggars in Delhi. From old age to a little kids, either sex or caste, they are begging for livelihood. The most pitiable thing is that when they ask for any monetary help with anyone in any place then people scold them so badly and it seems life is really pathetic and shameful.

These homeless children or beggars either migrated to their home town or came accidentally with beggar’s gang. These gangs are spread their tentacles in the city and doing their business in a coordinating manner.

Variety of beggars can be found near Jamuna bazzar Hanuman mandir. On Tuesday and Saturday there is maddening rush for both devotees and baggers. Majority of baggers are so old that they cannot walk but with the help of another bagger they are flourishing nicely.

Not only temples they can be seen anywhere in the city from bus to train, red-lights to major crossings in Delhi.

Various NGOs are working for their betterment but most of the time their efforts prove futile because they people are earning more money rather than doing any work. These NGOs offers various courses so that they stand on their own shop or start business but because of no proper vision these NGOs are not getting fruitful results.

I know begging is a serious offence but do you thing beggars have any choice? Before begging they must have tried their option or might have failed in other things or either god has decided their fortune for begging. We have to curb this menace and that simply need awareness among all.

What I feel if our government provides ample job opportunities in their hometown then people would not migrate to metros for their livelihood, then we might get some respite from this social evil.
