Hyderabad: The government is taking all required measures to make Hyderabad beggar-free ahead of Ivanka Trump’s visit for 3-day Global Entrepreneurship Summit, scheduled for November 28.
The Telangana government has now come up with a plan of giving away a reward of Rs 500 to anyone who will provide information about homeless people who are living on streets, reported The Times of India.
GHMC and State Institute of Correctional Administration are collaborating for the purpose.
Telangana Director-General (Prisons) told TOI that “after we clear all beggars from the city roads, we will start rewarding public who inform about their presence from December 1. The reward is to make public stakeholders in this effort to implement the Telangana Prevention of Begging Act. For information leading to spotting a beggar, we will pay Rs 500.”
The drive was started on October 20, the homeless spotted on the streets are being taken to Anand Aashram near the Chanchalguda prison and Cherlapally prison.
