> Thousands marginalized are living with extreme poverty in this Dhaka 
> city. The beggar is an exposed symbol of ultra poor. Near by 
> Shajahanpur Railway Colony ground has a beggars’ gathering place where 
> they sales rice, old cloth and materials collected by begging from 
> door to door. This place can be called, “Beggars’ market”. It starts 
> every afternoon with 30 to 40 beggars. The local people don’t know 
> well about this gather, although it is continuing regularly since last 
> 30 years. Most of their clients of this market are marginalized slum 
> dwellers, rickshaw pullers and garments workers. Here the price of 
> mixed rice is less than normal market price. Every beggar generally 
> brings three to four kilograms rice in which per kg price 20 to 22 
> taka.

> With a vision for a better life, the beggars generally come at Dhaka 
> from villages of the poor districts Jamalpur, Barisal, Rangpur, 
> Nilphmari and Thagoregaon. In this Shajaanpur area they are begging at 
> Bashabo, Malibagh, Khilgaon, Tikatuli, Shahjahanpur and Rampura. Most 
> of the beggars are river eroded victims, landless, physically and 
> mentally disable. The crude reality most of all have lost the human 
> dignity and self-reliance potentiality. They have taken begging as the 
> last choose for existence. All though government has declare to help 
> aged and disable, but they don’t get any support.
