According to them, railway platforms start humming with the activities of these call girls as early as 9 pm every evening which continue till midnight.

Men in "khaki" are silent witness to such activities, they claimed. The flesh trade has become a real nuisance for women visiting railway platforms either to see off their relatives or board trains in the late hours of evening.

Women belonging to respectable families have to bear the agony of watching sex workers striking a deal with customers in full public view on railway platforms.

Interestingly, pimps, too, have become active on the railway premises and help customers in finding girls of their choice in return of a paltry sum as commission.

Sometimes, rivalry among sex workers and the resultant filthy verbal duel between them puts people in an awkward situation.

According to sources, about 20 women are currently operating as sex workers on the railway platforms.

Khadi-clad men are also allegedly involved in the immoral trafficking as they frequent Patna Junction during the late hours in the evening.
