A new initiative called ‘beggar-free city’ started in Nagpur, Maharashtra

This will be severely enforced by the Nagpur police, and begging is not permitted in public areas. The social welfare division of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and the Nagpur City Police are partners in this effort. In order to accommodate homeless people in its shelters, the NMC has developed particular provisions. The civic organisation has a bus and an ambulance on standby to transport beggars apprehended by police to its shelter residence.
