The centre in a linear setup, stretching approximately 200 metres, is home to more than 25 night clubs and drinking joints. It has become a centre of focus for law enforcers following reports that it’s the hub where many school girls’ future is destroyed. Child prostitution has become the norm of the town, with girls as young as 12 years thronging the town at night to sell their bodies right under the nose of authorities. Skimpily dressed young girls roaming along the streets from one bar to the other, some holding liquor bottles and glasses, crossing the deserted road, accompanying mature men is a common sight. And it is the money from the gold which has been blamed for the increased child prostitution, with the young girls being lured by the miners.
