The administration has already issued an order banning begging in Indore, district collector Ashish Singh told reporters. "Our awareness campaign against begging will go on in the city till the end of this month (December). If any person is found giving alms from January 1, a First Information Report (FIR) will also be registered against him/her," he said.
