Post scandal, women shun parlours

Srinagar: Many women in Kashmir are shunning beauty parlours after unsubstantiated local media reports said at least two of the businesses were involved in a prostitution racket that included minor girls. Reports about the prostitution ring, said to involve girls being supplied to politicians and police officers, surfaced last month in the Kashmir Valley, sparking violent protests in a region racked by a 16-year separatist revolt. "After the sex scandal surfaced, we lost 90 per cent of our business," said 40-year-old Fahmida, who goes by one name, in her deserted beauty parlour in Srinagar, Kashmir's summer capital.
