It arises in beggars, anguished citizens
A survey conducted by Daily Express in Hyderabad markets and bazaars revealed that as Ramazan approaches to finish and EID, the influx of male and female professional beggars has increased significantly. The main roads, intersections and markets of the city are now full of them. In particular, female beggars often accompanied by young children use emotional tactics to force citizens to offer alms.
This growing presence not only causes buyers inconvenient, but has also led to an increase in portfolio and robbery incidents.
Occupying key locations
Professional beggars have established permanent points at the main intersections, U turns and areas with slow traffic. As the day begins, they take their positions and pray persistently to citizens throughout the day. Female beggars often extend a leaf on the road, while their children approach pedestrians with extended hands, requesting help.
Some beggars seem extremely homeless to cause sympathy, while others have handwritten notes requesting financial help. At the moment when a passerby looks at them, they approach more and beg for help, often forcing the individual to give them some money.
Influx of non -local
A significant number of these beggars has traveled to Hyderabad from other districts and provinces. They are expected to arrive more as Ramazan reaches their last days. Operating in small groups, they wander streets, neighborhoods, mosques, markets and other public spaces. Its strategy is such that if a beggar receives an assistance from someone, others meet immediately, urging the help, leaving the benefactor with no choice but to extend the help to multiple people.
Buyers consider that this situation is distressing, especially because some beggars demand specific items such as medicine, milk, bread or cooked foods instead of money, which makes citizens difficult to reject them.
Go up in wallets and robbery
With the growing number of beggars, cases of porterist and robbery have also increased. Markets and shopping centers are now critical points for such crimes. Reports indicate an increase in stolen wallets and value objects, especially among buyers.
Police sources affirm that some porterists disguise themselves as beggars, waiting for the opportunity to steal cash and other value objects of unsuspecting citizens. This trend has resulted in financial losses for many and additional stress during shopping trips.
Mendigos transported through Rickshaws
There have been cases in which beggars groups reach designated places in Rickshaws every morning. They ask throughout the day and return at night, which suggests a network organized behind their operations.
During Ramazan, citizens donate more in charity and alms compared to regular days, that these professional beggars take advantage of. Some disabilities pretend, while others carry false medical recipes or notes that request help.
In addition, beggars have been playing doors in residential and mosque areas, disguised as needed individuals. If the cash is denied, they request foods to obtain assistance from any means.
Citizens are urged to differentiate between genuinely needy individuals and professional beggars while exercising caution in their charitable donations.
