Hyderabad: The appointment of transgender people as traffic volunteers in Hyderabad City has been ordered by Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.

The Chief Minister’s office claims that CM Reddy gave the bureaucrats instructions to decide on a unique dress code and pay scale for transgender employees, akin to that of Home Guards.

As previously agreed, the Chief Minister requested that authorities designate transgender people as traffic volunteers in the first phase’s high-traffic areas. Similar to Home Guards, the Chief Minister said that transgender people should be used at signal-jumping spots to stop traffic violations.

In order to curb the rising number of instances in the city, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has recommended that authorities use transgender people at drunk driving checkpoints and make use of their services. According to the statement, authorities have been requested to decide on a unique dress code for transgender people as well as a pay scale comparable to that of the Home Guard.

“The CM directed the officials to implement the decision in an experimental manner at the earliest,” said the statement.
