From intenational begging to local begging - from the beggars, too. What a Miracle.
GP Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:50 PM
What about approx. 20 miilion beggers not begging at streets?
solo Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:23 PM
Here the names of the poor are published but important culprits names are usually not.
CHANDRAPALA Thursday, 19 July 2012 04:29 PM
It is better than killing.
Mohamed Thursday, 19 July 2012 06:13 PM

Present rulers are begging from the beggars and building castles, in other words putha.
Kiris Baba Amaray Friday, 20 July 2012 05:22 AM
Cheap Govt. son to peenalize the beggars, shameful, the whole world is watching the status of Rjapakshe's cheap policies.

Should have sent them to Temple Trees for a good meal, a change of clothes and a glimpse of what they should aim for.
johno Friday, 20 July 2012 07:29 AM
How do you know that? Have you begged with each and everyone of them everyday?
Lankan Saturday, 21 July 2012 03:08 AM
No fine begging from IMF , world bank and private banks. I think they paid in 5000/= notes. this means government begging from the street beggars. .
phil collins Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:35 AM

10 rupees is nothing for them. They earn thousands for a day.
dev Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:51 AM
ascharyaya, beggers fined...
Kaloo Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:09 AM
Apparantly they paid the fines with 5000 Rupee notes.
maidan Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:26 AM
Severely warned? Why not look for the reason that they are begging?
Its Just Me Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:33 AM
How about bringing a "Public Begging Tax" (PBT) and strengthening the government income?
Yohan Perera Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:29 AM
The fine is nothing. It should be noted however that courts have warned them severely... A warning from courts of magistrates cannot be taken for granted...
union Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:28 AM
Fining beggers!!!1 Now I believe our economy is broke...
Appuhamy Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:32 AM

Dansal dorehi netha yadiyo, pansal valaya pura vesiyo......
Nina Kamal Thursday, 19 July 2012 03:40 AM
Wonderous! why do they have to fine a paltry amount of Rs. 10/- the beggars must be over the moon, laughing at the law!
andrewpitugala Thursday, 19 July 2012 04:13 AM
Who will go into the reasons as to why they are on the streets begging. Not even the Judge.
Criclover Thursday, 19 July 2012 04:07 AM
wasting the time of Colombo Court for the sum of 60 rupees.
sahdi Thursday, 19 July 2012 05:01 AM
very poor fine..... can not buy even plain tea for the 10rupees.
Anil Thursday, 19 July 2012 05:04 AM
Why dont the cops chase away beggars at traffic lights?. They are an obstruction and danger to traffic.
