GUWAHATI Cancel the licenses of hotels and beauty parlours involved in the trafficking of minor girls, an apex women’s group in Arunachal Pradesh has said in a petition to the State government.
The suggestions of the Arunachal Pradesh Women’s Welfare Society (APWWS) followed the rescue of five minor girls from an interstate sex trafficking racket through a beauty parlour and a couple of hotels in Itanagar, the State’s capital less than a week ago.
In a petition to Shweta Nagarkoti Mehta, the Deputy Commissioner of the Itanagar Capital Region on May 13, the APWWS said the gravity of the situation necessitates immediate and decisive action to address the root causes and prevent further exploitation of vulnerable girls from poor families.
