Chandigarh Police has arrested five individuals involved in organized begging across the city, following a citywide crackdown. These individuals were operating in high-traffic areas and were allegedly part of a larger network exploiting the public for money. The police conducted raids in various parts of Chandigarh, identifying beggars who were not only violating local laws but also causing disturbances in public spaces.
This action comes after increasing complaints from residents and businesses about the rise in begging, particularly in busy markets and near transportation hubs. Chandigarh Police has reassured the public of their commitment to maintaining law and order while addressing social issues such as organized begging. The arrested individuals have been charged and will face legal consequences.
