I failed to see what is the news here. What is being reported as news is I
think a normal city affair in every big cities of the world. If Sentinel is
waking up to smell the grass after living in Guawahati all these years, it
shows very poorly on Sentinel. May be Sentinel should also start opening an
illegel bar and join the group because I don't think Sentinel is doing any good
service in reporting happenings in Assam or the North East.
Please wake up and do some professional reporting.
First it should learn to correct its spelling of Asom to Assam.

Yes, welcome to free economy...why did it take so many years to reach Ghy?
Everything runs on the principle that as long as there is a demand, there will
be supply.

my oh my...Thank you!
Nothing but an attempt to stir up some sensation by THE Sentinel. It does not
yet discuss why these girls "sell" themselves or why are people in Ghy so
desperate to spend 20000Rs. as tip to spend some time with these girls...
Thank you The Sentinel, I now know you stooped too low for me to catch up
with you.

Sex and our city - Part I
By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, July 26: Believe it or not, the capital city is fast
becoming a crime city. With the city police stressing specifically on law and
order and insurgency, petty crimes in Guwahati are on the rise. And now the
bars are adding to it all. It is alleged that illegal activities are going on
in these bars and on weekends, during parties, the bars almost become centres
of flesh trade. In recent cases, one person was killed by his friend at
Ganeshguri and one girl was badly roughed up by his boyfriend at Christian
Basti.
Out of 197 bars in Guwahati, the bars with permission to open till
late night are 16. These late-night bars should be closed by 11.30 pm. But it
is seen that most of the bars remain open till 1.30 or 2 am, thus defying the
order. It is alleged that in these bars, police and excise departments take
undue advantage. And to find out the truth, The Sentinel carried out a
week-long investigation as to what might be going on inside the some of the
lounge-bars.
From 4.30 pm to 6 pm, many girls and aspiring models enter some of
these bars. For this they do not have to pay any money. They are called
entertainment girls. When The Sentinel team entered one of these bars and sat
at one of the corners under dim light, the waiter took its order and left. Just
near the counter, three girls were cracking jokes among themselves and trying
to draw our attention. When the waiter came, one of the girls talked to him and
passed a phone number for us. The name of the girl was Puja. (We have the
mobile number but we are not disclosing it.) Later, she approached us, sat down
near us, and asked: "Do you like to make friendship?"
Every customer has one girl with him in these bars and girls are
called entertainment girls. For sitting with someone for hours, they do not
charge money but the person has to bear the expenses of their food and alcohol.
Yes, you can give her tips also, if you want to have 'close' relations with
her! This is called 'sitting'. One of the girls, Neha, told us she earns around
Rs 20,000 per month from tips. The bars provide these entertainment girls to
the customers and for this, the girls are paid a handsome amount.
The Sentinel also came to know that on weekend parties hosted by
these bars, the entry fee per person is from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000. But the girls
in question do not have to pay any entry fee at all. And if one does not have
any girlfriend with him, there is no need to worry, for he will get enough of
them inside the bars to accompany him for hours together. One can even take
them to any place. These call girls are basically from the city hostels located
in Bhangagarh, Uzan Bazaar, Zoo Road etc. Most of these girls are from
Lakhimpur, Jorhat and Dibrugarh.
Talking to The Sentinel one of the call girls, Monika (name changed),
said: "We earn around Rs 1,000 per night for dancing with one customer and if
they want us to provide entertainment, we earn around Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000.
What's the problem? We are enjoying and entertainment is a must for all."
But how will you meet these girls? What does the police say? Why is
there no frisking of customers at entry points in these bars? All these will be
revealed in the next report.
