The begging issue

It was interesting to read the news that almost 300 Bangladeshi beggars will be paid daily wages in Southern Bangladesh during the Cricket World Cup. An amount of 150 taka will be paid to these beggars by mayor of Chittagong.

It would have been interesting to see what our government would have done if the World Cup were to be played in Pakistan. I guess the government would also be in the same line as beggars to get money, as they always do by taking money from the IMF, World Bank, etc.
