The Editor,
The News, Lahore Dear Sir,
I, crave the hospitality of your columns to cal! attention of authorities to the evils of beggary. It is assuming an alarming proportion in our country.
There are more beggars in our country these days than ever before. No bazaar, no street, no garden is free from them. They pester you at your home, follow you to your office and worry you at your shop. They are present even at traffic signals, in buses and railway compartments. If you do not pay them, they .curse you. Some of them are quite healthy and strong. They have taken to begging because they do not want to do work hard. There are some who are either lame or blind or suffering from some highly infectious disease.I believe that all types of begging should be abolished by law. Able-bodied mendicants should be made to work on fixed wages in factories or workhouses. For others, poor houses should be opened where they could be fed and clothed at Government expenses. The public should be'called'upon to contribute towards their maintenance. Those beggars who suffer .from infectious ailments should not be allowed to spread- diseases by moving about in streets or lying on roadsides. They must be sent to hospitals for treatmentI hope that the Government will look into this matter.

                                                                                                                       Yours truly, 

                                                                                                                           X.Y.Z.
