AT LAST!

Only boxes of Govt approved charities should be allowed.

Infact, let there be only 3 allowed outside mosques in any one year so people dont get confused. The first three could be:

National education fund to rehabilitate schools Widows and orphans fund Army vetrens & martyrs families rsupport fund
