Mumbai: Admitting to irregularities in spa and massage centres, the state will issue operational guidelines within four months.
The rules will govern licences for such centres, Minister of State for Home Yogesh Kadam said many currently operate with only a single licence under the Shops and Establishments Act. Considering human trafficking violations, he emphasised stricter norms.
The guidelines aim to regulate the sector and curb illegal activities. During raids last year, 21 women were found lured into the trade under the pretext of employment, Kadam said. From last year until February this year, 129 trafficking cases were registered, including 52 in Thane and nine in Navi Mumbai.
