Hyderabad: Telangana Government to appoint transgenders as traffic volunteers for Traffic Management and Drunk & Drive checks in Hyderabad.

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday evening ordered the officials concerned to focus on the appointment of transgenders as Traffic Volunteers to address the growing traffic problems in Hyderabad City.

As decided earlier, the Chief Minister asked the officials to appoint transgenders as traffic volunteers in the high traffic zones in the first phase.

On the lines of Home Guards , the CM said that the services of transgenders should be utilised at signal jumping locations and prevent the violation of traffic rules.

The officials have been asked to finalise a special dress code for transgenders and also salary similar to Home Guards.

The CM directed the officials to implement the decision in an experimental manner at the earliest.
