The number of beggars has increased in the port city mainly due to lack of jobs. It appears that since the prices of essential commodities have started increasing sharply, many jobless persons and even small children have become involved in this ugly act.
In most of the city ares, at shops, you can see, the beggars outnumber the shoppers and some times they (beggars) are involved in crimes. The government should create job opportunities and also keep a check over the increasing of number of beggars.
