BEGGARS IN

It has been noticed
that there has beau a
considerable increase in
the number ot" beggars
and mad people in town.
The new ' arrivals are a
set of professional beg-
gars. In big Cities there
has been drive against
suoh people as such they
have started taking refuge
in small towns At present
they are virtually enjoy-
ing total freedom from
interference by the autho-*
rities. As suoh their num-
ber is on increase.

The presence of these
people in the hill stations
is very, bad and this
should not be encouraged
we hope the local autho-
rities will take all possible
steps to chuck this.
