Days after imposing Section 144 of the CrPC in a prominent red-light area in Nagpur following complaints of open solicitation by commercial sex workers (CSWs), the police have now issued a notification banning prostitution to be carried out in that area for the next two months, an official said on Thursday.

Nagpur Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar issued the notification on Wednesday, in which he warned that those found flouting the orders would face legal action.
