Sample letter to the Editor of a newspaper about the nuisance of beggars in Delhi

To

The Editor, the Times of India, New Delhi-02.

Sir,

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the kind attention of authorities concerned towards the problem of beggary. It is, in fact, a long standing problem of Delhi which has gained alarming proportions now. It does not seem to be the mere necessity of those who are incapacitated disabled and are not in a condition to work. It has become a regular profession as hale and hearty people can be seen egging. Children are also pushed into the trade and are seen everywhere now.

Many of them are professional pick-pockets and thieves. Frequent incidents of chain-snatching and purse-lifting are done by these beggars. The beggars are reported to have been involved in different crimes. They are commonly seen in buses, at red lights, around religious and tourist places. They take advantage of the rush. Many anti-social elements have taken to the robes of beggars to escape vigilance and serve their ends.

This situation calls for immediate action to make Delhi free from beggars. The authorities concerned should seriously consider this issue and take steps to put a complete ban on begging.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
