\nPESHAWAR
\nThe provincial government has announced a coordinated campaign to make Peshawar a beggar-free city.
\nAccording to a press release, the initiative aims not only to restore the city\u2019s visual appeal but also to provide a humane and lasting solution to the deep-rooted social issue of street begging.
\nAs part of the ongoing drive, special teams from the Social Welfare Department carried out operations in various areas of the city on Tuesday and took 10 female beggars into protective custody.
\nThey were later transferred to the Women\u2019s Shelter Home, where they are now being provided with essential services including accommodation, food, counseling, psychological rehabilitation, and vocational training.
\nSpeaking on the initiative, Minister Qasim Ali Shah stated that the campaign was more than a cleanup effort; it represents a comprehensive vision for social upliftment.
\n\u201cThis campaign is not merely about removing beggars from the streets, but a serious and lasting effort to transform their lives. Under this initiative, the Social Welfare Department was implementing a multi-pronged approach that includes mental health support, skill development, employment facilitation, and collaboration with welfare organizations, the statement said.
\nThe government has reaffirmed its commitment to continue and expand the campaign across the province, aiming for a socially inclusive and rehabilitative approach to a problem that affects urban centers across the province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
