4. Has Govt appointed trafficking police officer in these area-----if YES---- then what are they doing?

5. IF THE LAW IS IMPLIMENTED CAN AREAS LIKE GB ROAD EXIST---NO

6.ORGANISATIONS AS HUGE AS CRY COLLECT MONEY FROM PUBLIC FOR THESE GIRLS TO REHABILITATE THEM ------------WILL THAT MONEY BE REQUIRED IF THERE ARE NO SUCH AREAS.
