Sex workers bearing the brunt of the demonetisation move

“Many days have passed without a visitor,” Akram Khan, a tabla player at one of the kothas, said.

The number of the customers has dwindled. The sex workers are not accepting Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.

Some of them rued that they were already reeling under a crisis after the state government brought in prohibition policy that led to a fall in the number of customers.

“We support Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision. But, he should have thought of people like us,” said a sex worker.
