Beggars ringing doorbells are a nightmare

Beggars are of many kinds in Rawalpindi; street corner beggars near red lights and when motorists stop, they swarm the cars and there are beggars who come to our front door. I want to talk about the ones at the front door.
“The beggars who come to my house are regulars. We know each other’s names, I know a few of their home life stories. They are usually young women holding a baby girl or a boy,” says Wirda Batool. “I give these women money but when they come by, once a week. At times, I search my cupboard for secondhand clothes or fridge for food,” adds Wirda.
