If Police engaged decoy/s to obtain services there will be evidence to prove. If not the cases are likely to fail. This could be a show put up by Police

Pity, if they can't find decent jobs with good salary to feed their families, then more and more women will lured in to this business

In 21 century its a disgrace govt should have a long term economic program for these women. Now they are trying to ban sending them as house maid. President should appoint a women minister to see a viable job opportunities can be created for these women.

No one wants to work as sex workers and get dangerous diseases. They should be sympathetically rehabilitated and offered suitable employments
