RAWALPINDI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd May, 2018 ) :With the start of Holy month of Ramadan, the professional beggars have rushed to the local markets and roadsides to get alms. The groups of beggars mostly women, children and old men, have crowded the markets, shopping malls and roundabouts to get money from people as charity.
According to shoppers in markets, these beggars use new tactics to gain attention of the people.
Now, begging has become a profitable business for many as there is a strong mafia behind the beggars," said a resident of Commercial Market, Tahir Khan.
