The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has taken a significant legislative step by approving the Vagrancy Control and Rehabilitation Bill, aimed at dismantling organized begging networks and providing a rehabilitative approach for victims of coercion and poverty. As reported by The Frontier Post, Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi emphasized the state's 'constitutional and moral obligation to rescue children from forced begging and ensure their protection, rehabilitation, and dignified reintegration into society.' The bill is described as a 'historic and transformative step' that seeks to draw 'a clear line between the vulnerable and the exploiters.' Aaj TV further highlights that the bill includes strict legal actions against exploitation, marking a decisive move against the beggar mafia in the region.
