I commute to work every day from Thane to Vashi. When compared to Thane the number of beggars in Navi Mum- bai are very less. One can see beggars only near the Vashi railway station. The menace of beggars will only reduce if they get employment. Alpesh Parte, working

There are only few beggars in the country who actually are the real ones. They beg because they are handicapped and have inability to work, They are old or blind and they really need money for basic needs. But as the citi- zens of this country, it is our moral responsibility to stop this menace and the best way is to stop giving alms. It might seem that we are very heartless in not giving money to a little child begging on the street, but this is one step that we can take to prevent begging. If more and more people Residents of ESIS Hospital Colony, Sector 5, Vashi, Navi Mumbai too voted in large come out and take a pledge that they are not going to give a single penny numbers throughout the day. to any beggar irrespective of their need, I am sure begging menace will then be completely uprooted from our country. Meanwhile let the govern- ment and make India a better place to live in. Revathi Nair, Principal of Pushp Niketan English School Pale Budruk

The beggar problem in India is a matter of great shame and concern. They are visible at bus-stops, buses, rail- way stations, in trains, at red lights, near temples, at market, etc. A beggar is a stigma and he is a burden on the society. Begging neither involves physical labour nor mental exertion. It flourishes because people tend to be generous. Innocent people are forced into begging by anti- social elements. Some beggars earn more than most of the low paid workers. They get used to a life of leisure. It is a matter of shame that even after many years of independence our roads and streets are still infested with beggars. Awareness should be created among beg- gars and they should be educated that in future they don't do it. Gangasingh Rajpurohit, Sr.Journalist, Seawoods Election Booth Officials most of whom are teachers and non-teaching school staff In India begging has assumed an enormous proportion. members, may get a one-day break after the polls as per sources State Election Com- Most beggars today have made begging a profession and mission today. the problem has become colossal one. At present there are more than half a million beggars in India and if we include among these those persons who occasionally beg, the number will swell into a few millions. Probably this blot on our society should be attended to.It is high time we draw a blue print to eradicate this social menace Aishwarya Sridhar, Environmentalist, Panvel
