Abstract

The article discusses the adoption of the Mizoram Prohibition of Beggary Bill, 2025, by the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) government in Mizoram, aimed at prohibiting begging while also providing rehabilitation and sustainable livelihood options for beggars. Mizoram Social Welfare Minister Lalrinpuii emphasized that the bill seeks to address the increasing trend of begging in the state, despite the current low number of beggars, and includes plans for a state-level relief board to manage and assist beggars. The opposition party, Mizo National Front (MNF), expressed concerns that the bill could negatively impact the state's reputation and Christian values, advocating instead for community involvement and existing welfare schemes. The bill was ultimately passed after extensive discussion in the Legislative Assembly. [Extracted from the article]
