Lahore Police have registered cases against members of the beggar mafia at different police stations as part of an ongoing crackdown on professional begging in the city.

Bilal Siddique Kamyana, the CCPO of Lahore, said that operations against professional beggars are continuing across the city. Strict action has also been ordered against their facilitators to curb the growing problem. He directed police officials to take strong, impartial action against all professional beggars to eliminate this network.

The CCPO also called on institutions like the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau and the Social Welfare Department to actively participate in rehabilitating child beggars. The aim is to rescue children from the begging networks and provide them with proper care, education, and a safer future.
