(Baonghean.vn) – Often appears in crowded places such as markets, hospitals, bus stations… even restaurants, hotels or tourist attractions,The homeless beggars in Vinh City are having a significant impact on the urban beauty.
 |
| Walking around markets, hospitals or crowded places in Vinh city, it is not difficult to see disabled people begging every day, living off the kindness of the community. |
 |
| A common image is of a person sitting in a wheelchair, with another person pushing it behind them. In the photo are two women "working" at Quan Lau market. Every time they pass by a stall or a market-goer, they hold out a plastic basket to ask for money. |
 |
| Some vendors and market-goers were concerned and asked about their situation, but the two women kept their distance and did not say a word. |
 |
| Present at Quang Trung market very early, this man said he took his daughter to Vinh for medical treatment but ran out of money so he went to the market to beg. |
 |
| However, the next day, the same man was seen with another person, describing a different situation, asking for money from vendors in another market. |
 |
| Also in this market, at another location, a young man was sitting begging for money in the middle of the street. |
 |
| A moment later, when this young man moved to another position, another person came to replace him. |
 |
| A vendor in Quang Trung market said: "Every day in the market, there are 7-8 people with different identities and circumstances who regularly come here to beg for money. Especially on full moon days, they walk in a line in the market." |
 |
| Following these people until the end of the day, we saw them return to a boarding house in the Vinh Bus Station area (Le Loi ward). |
 |
| According to statistics from the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, there are about 110 homeless beggars in the province, mainly concentrated in Vinh City. These modern-day beggars not only work in markets and hospitals, but also at intersections and on many roads. In the photo is a young man with deformed legs, crawling to beg for money on Dang Thai Than Street. |
 |
| In April 2015, the Provincial People's Committee issued Plan No. 206/KH-UBND on solving the problem of homeless people in the province with the goal of having no homeless people in the province by 2020. Previously, in 2011, Vinh City issued the Project "Solving the problem of homeless people begging for food and money in the city". However, in reality, the situation of homeless people begging for food and money in the city is still very common, causing significant impacts on security and urban beauty. |
