Beggars a menace
Begging has become an intolerable problem in Dhaka. As soon as you take out your wallet to pay a fruit or vegetable seller at the roadside shops or stop at a traffic signal, you will be mobbed by beggars. Begging is a very profitable business. Beggars would rather beg than work even if they possess good health. Foreigners are also their victims and this is a matter of great embarrassment. Our government promised us that they would rehabilitate the beggars. What happened to that promise? Furthermore, Islam does not encourage begging.
