Members of the transgender community on Wednesday demanded that the Telangana State Police recognise them as a category in the recruitment process announced recently, and finalise guidelines to ensure that they are not deprived of an opportunity in the selection process.
A group from the community submitted a representation at the office of the Director General of Police here. “Despite Supreme Court judgment, Telangana government has yet not consulted the transgender communities to democratically formulate a comprehensive transgender policy. The High Court of Telangana too pulled up the government in our ongoing case of PIL — KMV Monalisa & Ors vs the State of Telangana,” said Vyjayanti Vasanta Mogli, representing Telangana Hijra Transgender Samiti.
Now, the Telangana police too have excluded transgender persons from the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board Notification-2022 on the vacancies of constables and sub-inspectors, Vyjayanti said.
