People Giving Alms To Beggars Will Face FIRs In This City From January 1

Indore district administration plans to criminalize giving alms to elders starting January 1, 2025, following a similar ban on giving to children. This initiative aims to eradicate begging, with an awareness campaign planned and rehabilitation services already in place. Officials were surprised by the substantial income generated by some beggars, prompting stricter measures.
