therefore this profession is increasing day-by-day as its giving raise to
begging so people do not go for doing any other job and work. Because
begging is an easy job rather than working in field. Government must
have to take some steps for the betterment of this kind of people as
begging is not only a social problem, but it is a curse for Pakistani
