The department formed a special team to trace beggars in the district and rehabilitate drug addicts.
The team headed by additional deputy commissioner relief, Riaz Ali Khan, and district social welfare officer Nusrat Iqbal launched the operation in Mingora Bazaar.
Mr Khan said the operation would be carried out regularly to monitor the beggars and drug addicts in the city and its suburbs. He said young uniformed staffers had been trained and made part of the squad, which will carry out special surveillance to identify beggars and drug addicts.
Mr Khan said the squad would arrest the beggars and present them before a magistrate, after which they would be transferred to Darul Kafala, where arrangements have been made for rehabilitation of drug addicts and offering training courses to beggars.
