Do you feel beggars, child beggars and transgenders have increased in recent times?
Last weekend, I visited Asha Tiffins in Brookfields. Several groups of family beggars—typically a husband, wife, and an infant—were actively begging from everyone entering or leaving the restaurant. What stood out was their aggression; they even started cursing if someone refused to give them anything. Later that evening, I went to Nexus Shantiniketan Mall and saw the same family group there, repeating the same behavior. I’ve noticed similar groups near Spice Garden Layout as well, and on multiple occasions near Nagarjuna in Marathahalli, where groups of children often beg. Another observation: I’ve recently started noticing transgenders within the Spice Garden Layout. I’ve been residing in this area for almost two years, but this is something I’ve only started seeing in the past few months. Have others in the area noticed this too? It’s becoming more frequent and raises questions about how these situations are being handled.5
