The operation against beggars in the twin cities has failed as female beggars lugging ‘rented infants’ in severe weather still linger around city unchecked.

Many such infants die due to pneumonia after being exposed to severe cold, but that has no impact on these unscrupulous beggars who just go rent more infants.
