PANJIM:
The Health Department will conduct inspection of massage parlours operating in the State and allow them month’s time to register with the department. The list will be then forwarded to the Police Department.

The Health Minister Vishwajit Rane made the statement after Siolim MLA Dayanand Mandrekar told the House that many parlours operating in the coastal belt are indulging in unlawful activities. The MLAs also sought to know why the health department which has issued notification making it mandatory for parlours to register with the department, has not done enough.

Siolim MLA also told the House that massage parlours are running sex rackets while police collect haftas from them.
He further pointed out that the government should collect higher fees from registered massage parlours. As informed to the House so far just seven parlours have registered with the department.

The Health Minister replied that his department doesn’t have mechanism to check but he will issue direction to directorate of health services to ensure that all parlours are registered with the department. The Health Minister said the Central Bill which will be introduced in the House this session, will bring under its purview all aspects of health -- gyms, healtth spas etc.
