In 2020, India was grappling with an intense wave of Coronavirus pandemic and the whole nation was under house arrest. As an army person, my duty was sanctioned in the Jammu division, India. Somehow, I managed to travel to Delhi and took shelter at my brother’s house. But, for blind people, there was no shelter. I witnessed a blind couple begging for alms in front of closed shutters. There were no people around that area. They didn’t know that there was a lock down In India. However, I managed to take them to the nearest hospital for treatment of their wounds and gave them food to eat.

Last two years, we have witnessed many blind girls living in pitiable conditions. Parents think visually impaired girls are a burden for them. Sometimes, they exit their houses and they have no option left but to beg for their livelihood. Mostly, they broke internally due to extreme sexual, physical, and mental exploitation by the beggar mafia.
