But now with passenger trains’ do not operate and marriage postponed / canceled because of Pandemics, not much to do to get money.
Now, even if people are getting married, they do it with a small scale and we often don’t even know them.
“There were around 200 transgender in three districts in the Division Koban.
Looking for help from the government, he added.
This clothing also asks for a permanent house under the Pradhan Mantri Beware of Yojana for Transgender, who currently lives in a rented house in a slum.
“The retirement scheme and a house under Watch out Yojana will give us a decent life and the community will feel empowered,” Singh said.
