“Rehabilitation centre has been made for the destitute. Due to various life situations, people succumb to begging. Hence, there should not be any kind of human rights violation. The destitute should not face any kind of difficulties. The utmost priority of the government is to bring these destitute into the mainstream of the society. There are 11 rehabilitation centres across the state. Mangaluru is one of them. Revenue department should co-operate in providing land and good facilities for the inmates,” he said.

Similarly, directions were issued for the inmates of the rehabilitation centre, so that they can earn money. While leaving the rehabilitation centre, their earnings can help them sustain,” said Mr Shetty.
