Government reviving prostitution bill has led to outcry from MPs, who say it could undermine social welfare
New Delhi: There has been an increase in calls to revive a bill that criminalises the trade of the sale of sex in India and criminalises «promoting prostitution» as a form of illegal labour, police said today.
In response to a call for action in a parliament session, law enforcement offici?????als said they received reports of a high number of reports of «sexual services» being offered in the city.
The Indian sex trade has been decriminalised under legislation passed in 2002, with penalties of up to three years in jail and up to Rs 1,500 (about ?4apronx70) in fines.

In the current session of parliament the legislation dealing with «trafficking in women» has emerged as an issue.

Ramesh Bhardwaj, a Delhi-based lawyer and co-founder of NGO Reductus Advocacy Centre, said this is the second time this year that he has come across «trafficking in women» reports in police reports, although he declined to name them. kanken no.2 laptop 15» Cole Croston Iowa Hawkeyes Jersey coque samsung custodia cover samsung https://www.aquawood.fr/products/coque-antichoc-samsung-s9-709pascher11071 But he said that in some cases, «they just want you to know who these people are» and that is «very worrying».
