BEGGARS are found at almost every traffic signal in Lahore, and rush towards vehicles for alms.

It has been observed that early in the morning, an organised system of pick-and-drop facility is arranged by the handlers of this ‘profitable business’ to get the beggars dropped at various..

If any of the beggars do not work for the mafia, it threatens him/her by saying that they are going to kill their family members.

We mostly question these beggars as to why they were begging in the first place and cannot do any kind of work?
