 BOMBAY: Tens of thousands of dancing girls in India's financial and film capital of Bombay have won a delay against a government decision to close them down. State governor S.M. Krishna, has refused to approve the move for now, saying in a statement on Friday he saw "no immediate reason" to do so. The Congress party-led state government wants to close the bars in Bombay and across the state of Maharashtra because it says they corrupt local youth, threaten the culture and are a front for prostitution and organised crime. About 75,000 women work in the bars, along with another 75,000 waiters, bouncers, cooks and cleaners. |
