Beggars return to city streets as rehab efforts fail to suffice
1 2 Jaipur: Beggars who were cleared from Jaipur streets before the Rajasthan International Summit have reappeared with a vengeance after just seven months. According to NGOs and govt officials involved in beggar rehabilitation programs, the primary reason for their return is the income disparity. The beggars find street begging more lucrative compared to the earnings from rehabilitation schemes offered by both govt and private organisations. "We observed that the rehabilitation schemes offer them an income opportunity of Rs 400 to a maximum of Rs 800 daily. They earn this money within far less time and by doing virtually nothing at the busiest intersections of the city. Why would they opt for rehabilitation when they can earn easily and stay on the pavements at no cost?" said an official involved with the rehabilitation. On Monday, when Team TOI toured the city, there were several such groups of beggars occupying the pavements of several important roads across the city. In most cases, they are staying with families, including pets like rabbits or birds, and have constructed makeshift shelters on the pavements using plastics and tarpaulins. They light stoves on the pavements and cook their food as well. "Another important threat for these beggars dwelling on the pavements is their kids. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo These kids play and run along the roads throughout the day, posing a major threat to the traffic. You can't stand and perform your duties close to their shelters as they use a section of the pavement for defecation," a traffic official manning the JDA Circle intersection stated. Even on Tuesday, a team of enforcment officials tried to remove these beggars from the pavement of Shanti Path along the back wall of Birla Mandir. However, they were spotted again in late evening on the intersection of Shanti Path and Vijay Path, barely 200 metre away. Accepting that it is indeed a tough job to keep these beggars and their families away from the pavement, Giriraj Shekhawat, the president of an NGO, said another major problem is that they change their locations frequently, making it impossible to track them.

Forest dept & villagers build fence to keep elephants out
Kozhikode: At a time when forest department and residents of many forest fringe villages across the state are at odds, department officers and villagers at Neikkuppa under south Wayanad forest division joined hands to build a 4.5km hanging fence to stop wild elephants from entering human habitats. Authorities proposed the participatory fencing initiative in an area that had seen severe elephant intrusions in recent months. They acted after realizing that the crash guard fencing project, already sanctioned by the state govt, would take months to complete. Work on a permanent fence was also halted due to the monsoon. South Wayanad divisional forest officer Ajith K Raman said that under the participatory initiative, forest department provided the fencing materials, battery and energizing unit while residents carried out the work by contributing labour. As there was no labour cost, the department completed the fencing with just the material cost of Rs 50,000. In the first phase, a 1.5km temporary fence was built from Kakkodan block to Manalvayal. Encouraged by its success, the project was extended in the second phase with another 1km of fencing from Manalvayal to Neikkuppa. Now, the third phase — a 2km stretch connecting Neikkuppa to Pathramoola — has also been completed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Residents of Manalvayal, Pathramoola, Chenchadi, Changalamoola, Neikkuppa and Kakkodan Block are expected to benefit from the fencing. Forest department and the local community will jointly maintain the temporary structure. Farmers and residents from Kakkodan Block, Neikkuppa and Pathramoola — areas badly affected by wildlife intrusion — took the lead in completing the fencing work with support from Neikkuppa Forest Protection Committee. Villages along this forest border have faced regular attacks by wild elephants, leading to the destruction of crops, vehicles and buildings. Over 40 farmers and residents took part in the effort. They were joined by Chedalath range officer MK Rajeev Kumar, deputy range officer A Nijeesh, staff from the Pulpally station and forest watchers.
