Dolly seeks leniency<\/p>\n
SURABAYA: While some groups want nightspots to close or have
\ntheir operational hours limited during the coming holy month of
\nRamadhan, the biggest red light district in Surabaya, known as
\nDolly, is seeking leniency in relation to its operating hours.<\/p>\n
The red light district is part of the Suaka Dolly (Dolly
\nSanctuary) and has sent a letter to Commission E of the
\nprovincial legislative council, asking legislators to allow the
\narea to open from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m..<\/p>\n
The letter, signed by 500 sex workers, 239 employees from the
\ndistrict, 50 vendors operating in the area, 30 becak drivers and
\n16 taxi drivers, was handed over to legislators by Suaka Dolly
\nchairman Aryono on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Commission E chairman Harbiah Salahuddin said that it would be
\nimpossible to completely close the complex.<\/p>\n
\"Limiting its operating hours is likely,\" he said.<\/p>\n
East Java Muhammadiyah Youth chairman Abdul Azis had earlier
\nsaid that Dolly must be closed during Ramadhan. He also said that
\na comprehensive solution was needed. --Antara<\/p>",
