Delhi Government has put massage parlor under scanner to check immoral activities.
No doubt, massage parlors indulge in unlawful activities. But the police force is limted. Will it not be more prudent to divert energy to stopping rape and vilence against women. What hapens in massage parlors is consensual and this should not be a matter of more concern than rapes. Rather, it will be better to legalize prostitution and regulate the trade. The government could also raise revenue by adding 'sex workers service' to taxable services.

Message parlors are under check because of the fear of spreading of deadly HIV according to the report received by the Delhi government...About legalizing prostitution some fears that it might give rise to the activities like illegal trafficking and the activities of mafias...
It is easier to check and regulate a lawful profession. If you legalize prostitution, the sex workers need not function in the garb of massage parlors, escorts etc. It will be easier to regulate their trade as well as HIV etc.
Immortal activities are increasing under the shadow of massage parlors.It should be checked periodically.
Delhi is also rape capital of India. The immoral activities are consensual and checking these is not more necessary than chacking rape and other activities like molestation of women. With limited police and other resources, it will be better to concentrate on crimes like rape. Offences involving coercian need more attention than consensual activities.
But massage parlours are the easy way to conduct such immortal activities.
Immoral activities can be conducted in many ways. Good education and upbringing alone can prevent these. Police should concern more with such criminal activities that injure some citizens or harm them against their free will. Prostitution and similar activities are immoral but there is no aggrieved party. So, police should not bother about these. Rape, theft, financial scams are more important and should be given closer attention. Police and judiciary have limitation and so should be economically deployed on more serious crimes.
As a matter of fact, police indulge in curbing massage parlors, dance clubs etc only for their own illicit money.
