Delhi: Kejriwal raps state social welfare dept, directs them to stop anti begging drive
Reacting to a newspaper article on the topic, Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, "Most inhuman n futile exercise that social welfare dept cud think of. Am directing them to stop it immediately."
As per the report, the original plan consisted of a 10-day long drive, where beggars would be picked and sent to reception-cum-classification centre. A magistrate would then pass on his judgement if the beggar would be let off with a warning or be put in a remand home.
