A- A A+

BADUNG: The Badung Public Order Agency is intensifying raids on beggars ahead of US President Barack Obama’s visit  to Bali, which is scheduled for next week.

The agency’s head of operation I Nengah Sukarta said the agency has managed to net 25 beggars during a recent raid.

“We brought them to the Social Services Agency for training before we returned them to their hometown in Karangasem, but they keep coming back, especially after the Nyepi day.” — JP
