5. A letter to a leading newspaper, about the problem oI beggary in your town.

The Editor,

The Daily DAWN,

Dear Sir,

Through the columns oI your esteemed paper, I want to invite the attention oI the district
authorities to the problem oI beggary in our town. Recently, the number oI beggars in our town
has increased maniIold you. They pursue you like a shadow. Even hale and hearty people have
taken to begging. Small boys and children have caught the inIection. Perhaps they are made to
beg by their guardians.

The beggars gather at places Irequented by the people. The bus stands, market places, post
oIIices, railway station and mosques are their Iavourite haunts. It is impossible to move about
these places peaceIully. II you sho generosity and open you purse, you are surrounded by a host
oI them.

Some child-liIters, in the guise oI beggars, are on the look out Ior abducting children. Two or
three cases oI this kind have occurred recently, and the culprits have been caught red-handed.

The Iemale beggars enter the houses quietly without calling out Ior alms at the door. II they are
not noticed by the inmates, they run away with whatever they can lay hands on. They act as
inIormers to the burglars who break into houses at night.

A prompt action on the part oI Government is required to check this social evil.

Yours truly,

X. Y. Z
