"Rs 500 for giving any information about their location anywhere in Hyderabad," said V K Singh, Director General of Prisons. The information should be provided to the control room of the prisons department, he said. The department is providing beggars shelter, food, counselling and employment skills training.

"If they are sick, we are getting them hospitalised and taking care of them. This is a comprehensive package," he said. If they are fit, the beggars are given employment in the prison industries like furniture-making, he said.
