Maina- Curtorim police station @ Goa Police get off the streets, two elderly beggars in pathetic conditions on 21.8.24 and lodges them in our shelter home.

☆ One is a Goan Mr Christopher who was spotted late night 1am at PHC Curtorim by the police.

Claims to be from Varca/ Carmona and when the police went to his home,  found that he is staying alone & the house was not in proper condition for him to live.

We appreciate LPSI Miss Veronica for rescuing these 2 elderly men late night.

But I am still at loss to understand why the Goa Government is not starting a beggars home or why is our HOME not notified as a beggars home

Every police station calls us to admitt and we just cant say no as these are old and sick people on the streets .

But caring for them is not easy as they come with a lot of sickness and mental imbalance.

Running around with these beggars for treatment is not cheap as it requires alot of hospital trips, tests , medication & follow ups.

Too many calls of late and I tell the caller pls approach the local police station. 

We just can't pick anyone directly as there has to be some paper trail.

All the major cities in Goa are having a sizeable no of beggars and vagabonds and it's just increasing year after year.

Also crime on the streets increase due to beggars as well as murders and deaths have increased due to no clear policy of the Government towards Beggars & the homeless.

We ask the Hon CM as well as The Social Welfare Minister to put a policy in place towards beggars and homeless in Goa and see that our grants are given well in advance to run such homes for the homeless.
