Agencies

March 15, 2018

Panaji, Mar 14: Underlining that online promotion of sex trade is a "complex social issue", Goa Governor Mridula Sinha today appealed to various agencies to launch combined efforts to curb the menace.

The governor also said parents and teachers need to be more vigilant to ensure that girls don't fall prey to "such ills".

"Online promotion of sex trade is a complex social issue which requires response from all the stakeholders such as law enforcement agencies, social welfare department, women commission, parents, teachers, voluntary organisations and members of the society," Sinha said while addressing a special meeting on this issue at Raj Bhavan which was attended by various agencies.

The governor stressed the need to strengthen the legal mechanism for tackling the sex trade through the internet and suggested the state government take up the issue with the Centre.

"Apart from that, vigilance by parents, teachers and members of the society and creation of awareness are vital so that the girls don't fall prey to such ills," said Sinha.

Director General of Police Muktesh Chander highlighted the legal impediments, particular limitations under Section 69(A) of IT Act, in closing down the websites that offer escort services.

He said police are taking action in coordination with authorities concerned in various states and at the Centre.

Late but good decision if govt can implement and control completely

People also should cooperate for this. Govt alone cant do properly. First arrest all drug mafias, then everything will come under control.. Drug Mafias are the main ldealers of sex trade

Along with sex trade, drug deals also should stop, people going to Goa only for this two reasons

NRI's are using escort servises more.. Should track them.

Mainly people going to Goa only for this reason. Goa can be Indian "PATTAAYA"

Terrorism also spreading through such kind of websites..
