Delhi Government to Launch Campaign to Address Child Begging Across City
The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, plans to launch a 'Child Beggar-Free Delhi' campaign across 13 districts to protect children found begging. The initiative focuses on counseling families, addressing underlying causes, and providing alternatives without forcibly removing children. It also aims to identify and take legal action against organized gangs exploiting children. The campaign involves collaboration with the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights, NGOs, and child welfare committees, with public feedback sought before its expected launch around Independence Day.
