Ashodaya Samithi, an
organisation involved in the welfare and rehabilitation of sex
workers, including transgenders and homosexuals is now on a new
mission.
The committee has formed a
six members team and have aptly named it as 'Adarsha'. Through
Adarsha, the members daily in the evening from 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm
will monitor the activities of transgenders, specially those
misbehave or create problem to general public.
If any such transgender
are traced they will be warned and their activities will be brought
to the notice of Police. The committee members have exchanged their
motile numbers with Police personnel, to contact in case of
emergency. If needed, the Adarsha committee will be expanded.
Addressing the media
persons here on Thursday, Samithi Member Pranathi Prakash said that
with the help of Police, the team will round up in prominent places
of the city, such as D Devaraj Urs Road, Parks at Teresian College,
and People's Park in Nazarbad.
“With the allegations
made by public at the public grievance meet with Police personnel on
Sunday, that transgenders are creating nuances, we decided to form
the committee and keep the track of transgenders,” added Prakash.
Another transgender Girija
said that: “168 transgenders have been registered with Ashodaya, of
which countable transgenders are said to be misbehaving with public.
We are struggling hard to come to the mainstream of society and be a
part of society. To fend off black marks, we are chalking out
appropriate measures.”
Transgender Rani said that
rowdy elements people to visit the park and public might have
mistaken them with transgenders. “We to are exploited. There are
instances people misbehaving with us,” she rued.
