Srinagar, Apr 4 :\u00a0Despite a blanket ban on the begging practice, beggars in Srinagar swarm on Srinagar roads, particularly at traffic signal points.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 From young girls to elderly people, mostly from outside states can be seen begging on Srinagar roads. The practice has been taking a toll on common people who have appealed to the district administration to put a full stop to this menacing exercise.
\u00a0\u00a0 The professional beggars can be seen hounding locals, especially the drivers on traffic signal points across Srinagar city.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThere is an organized begging mafia that brings beggars in private vehicles and drops them at various places across the Srinagar city,\u201d said a local to news agency Kashmir News Trust adding that it is a lucrative business and fetch a lot of money.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The beggars can be seen in streets, malls, petrol stations, outside masjids, shrines, temples, and traffic signals.
\u00a0\u00a0 Another local said that government must put an end to this practice. \u201cOn the one hand you try to present Srinagar city as a developing one, you are beautifying it while on the other hand, the presence of innumerable beggars on Srinagar roads deflates the very idea of development,\u201d he said.
\u00a0 Pertinently, the Srinagar District administration has already banned begging in public places. [KNT]<\/p>\n
