A group of educated transgenders today approached the Telangana Director General of Police and submitted a representation urging him to provide an opportunity to them to compete for the various police posts for which recruitment will shortly be underway.
They also urged the DGP to provide reservations to them in the posts.
In their representation, they told the DGP that the notifications issued to fill the police posts were meant only for male and female candidates, and not for them. Citing some judgements of the Supreme Court and various High Courts, they said that the verdicts had clearly said that transgenders could also compete for any government job as they had the physical strength to do so.
They made it clear that they would not keep silent on the issue until reservations were provided to them in the posts.
