And their carnal desires are mostly fulfilled by commercial sex workers. According to a survey conducted by an NGO, about 50 to 60 per cent of the lorry drivers are in the habit of visiting prostitutes regularly. Majority of the dhabas that dot the national highways and major roads of the region are a hub of prostitution where the truck drivers generally halt, especially at night.
