After the ‘attendance’ registers, kept at the mujra houses in Burhanpur district on the order of the government for the last four years, were recently removed, the mujra business has felt the sigh of relief.
The government started the registers in 2008 when a taxi driver tipped off about dropping a terror suspect in one of the mujra houses in Burhanpur.

The government decision had caused the downturn of mujra business when many local customers and customers from neighboring districts stopped showing up.
