She emphasized the keenness of the police directorates to implement continuous campaigns to control beggars to eliminate this unacceptable scourge, and urged the public to cooperate and contribute positively with the police in reducing the phenomenon of begging by moving away from distributing alms and zakat in person and going to official channels, bodies, institutions and charities to ensure that donations reach those who deserve it.
