Cops Rescue 12 Children in Crackdown on Beggars
Nagpur: In a determined effort to curb street begging and associated illegal activities, the Ganeshpeth police, in collaboration with the women and child development department and Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), rescued 12 children and shifted six men and four women to govt shelter homes on Wednesday. The operation, conducted near railway premises on the Cotton Market side, was part of 'Operation Mukti', a citywide initiative launched by commissioner of police Ravinder Singal to clear public spaces of beggars and vagabonds. Led by senior inspector Machhindra Pandit, the drive targeted areas notorious for encroachment and petty crimes linked to begging. The action follows a similar operation a week ago, where authorities were stunned to find a beggar carrying a knife and another woman in possession of Rs1.13 lakh in cash, hinting at the complex underbelly of organised begging rackets. Since the launch of Mission Mukti, over 50 homeless individuals and vagabonds have been relocated to shelter homes, offering them a chance at rehabilitation. Singal issued strict directives to Tehsil and Ganeshpeth police stations to ensure these areas remain free of beggars, who were linked to illegal activities and road encroachments. Senior officials emphasised that the cleared spaces, owned by NMC, should be repurposed for beautification projects to prevent re-encroachment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Resort todo incluido en Punta Cana Palladium Hotel Group Undo The rescued children, vulnerable to exploitation, are now under the care of the women and child development department, which is working to provide them with education and support.

Police said Rangari will continue to receive care at the shelter while efforts are on to reunite him with his family.
