n accordance with the new policy aimed at combatting begging, the Indore Police have launched a comprehensive awareness campaign. The initiative, which took effect from January 1, 2025, educates residents and visitors about the legal consequences of giving alms to beggars. This campaign is a part of Indore’s broader strategy to eliminate begging from the streets and promote more sustainable forms of support for those in need.
Through this campaign, the police are encouraging citizens to refrain from giving alms directly to beggars, as it contributes to the cycle of begging. Instead, the campaign urges the public to support welfare programs that are better equipped to provide for the marginalized. By fostering public awareness, the police hope to generate widespread support for the initiative and ensure the city remains a clean and organized place for all its residents.
