prostitution

Apuni Sarkar, The Uttarakhand Government’s e-service portal ‘Apuni Sarkar’ has come under scrutiny for its recognition of professions that are considered shameful to speak about. The portal’s verification of tenants includes categories of businesses that are not only objectionable but also raise serious questions about the mindset and work ethics of the administration. Options such as liquor smuggling, brokerage, contract killing, prostitution, nomadism, and illegal drug selling have been listed, causing shock, distress, and shame among the readers. Media reports suggest that these options may have been copied and pasted without proper consideration. This raises concerns about the competence and intentions of the officials responsible for creating the app, as it reflects poorly on the government’s image.
