India To Attempt
Rehabilitation
Of Beggars
By PATRICK J. KILLEN
United PrMi International
New Delhi -flJPD- Beggars
are on their way out in the
Indian capital.
The Delhi State Adminis
tration has banned beggars
from most public and private
places. Under a new act, at
tempts will be made to reha
bilitate legitimate beggars. If
the beggars are unable physi
cally to learn new occupa
tions, they will be cared for
in certified institutions.
Impostors or persons em
' ploying others as beggars will
be subject to one year's im
prisonment. According to R. L. Verma,
director of Delhi State Admin
istration public relations,
snake charmers and others
who use monkeys and bears as
performers will not be affect
ed. He said, however, "com
mon frauds such as those who
go about with pythons
wrapped around their necks"
will be prosecuted.
Many Indians believe it is
good luck to see a snake in the
morning and often are willing
to pay a python-enwrapped
beggar for just strolling by.
Verma also said bird for
tune tellers were through He
explained that such monte
banks use caged birds to pick
out printed fortunes with
their bills for a fee.
The Anti-Beggar Act specif
ically forbids begging, solicit
ing or receiving alms in public
places even if it is under the
pretense of singing, dancing,
fortune telling, selling or per
forming tricks. It prohibits
beggars from exposing sores,
wounds, deformities or diseases.
Verma estimates there are
thousands of beggars current
ly operating in the capital..
He said most of them are cen
tered near railway stations,
bus stands and busy market
places.
The public relations direc
tor said there is one difficul
ty about the new cat. "If the
roundup (of beggars) is to be
on a large scale, then our poor
house is not big enough to
house them all."
