No room for beggars: You will face action in THIS city for giving alms
India TV NewsIndore, the bustling heart of Madhya Pradesh, is gearing up for an unconventional battle against begging. Starting January 1, 2025, the city's district authorities will take no prisoners in their quest to make Indore beggar-free—and they’ll be going after the good Samaritans too. District Collector Ashish Singh, in his latest announcement, declared that an order banning begging in the city has already been issued. Singh was clear in his plea to the people of Indore, “Don’t be partners in the sin of giving alms.” It’s a bold move, one that might raise a few eyebrows—and a few questions about whether the city is going a bit too far. Indore’s drive is part of a larger initiative launched by the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment to make 10 cities across the country beggar-free, and Indore has been chosen as one of the pilot cities.
