The amount of beggers keep increasing on a daily basis in Karachi. These people shamelessly tap you car windows, quiet literary bang your car, stare at you as you eat or figid your purse looking for your cellphone. Sometimes they even say mean things, and tell you false stories to get some money out of you, sometimes they annoy the crap out off you and when you give them money they still donnot go away because they want more. Sometimes they demand food and goods to beg while they use "selling goods" as an alabi. Others will simply cloud your windscreen with soapy water as soon as your car stops at a traffic signal and they sometimes donnot listen to you when you tell them not to touch your windscreen
At the bussiest road in Karachi, Shahrah-e-Faisal, right where the traffic police stands you can see a folk of beggers, an entire family which consists of a mother, two daughters, one toddler and a little boy who'd automatically come and tap your car window in a very annoying manner as soon as your car stops at the Kashif Centre traffic signal.
At another area in Karachi, the Buhadrabad Chowrangi traffic signal (the road leading towards the newly constructed bridge), Right next to the Police check post, a lady, a very healthy looking lady with a dubatta on her head; would approach your car and tell you that her daughter is a T.B. patient and she needs to buy an injectine which costs arround RS. 90 , she'd give her blessings to you and your family and shed crocodile tears to a point that you'd be forced to give her money.
So, is anoyone going to stop these beggers? or are they keep going to increase day by day? government has taken several initiatives to irradicate beggery from Karachi but somehow these people just don't stop. They use selling their good and cleaning car windscreens as their alibis but they all beg for money rather than trying to sell the good they hold in their hands. The problem is that these people are soo used to running after the easy money they can earn just by extending their hands and using puppy dog eyes. This is a save permenant job where they are the employees aswell the the employers.
