A delegation of transgender community met Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on March 04, and urged him to ensure implementation of the 2014 Supreme Court judgement in the state.
The delegation belongs to Kinner Maa Ek Samajik Sanstha, a group comprising transgender people and aims to work for their welfare.
Supreme Court in a landmark judgement had declared transgender people as the 'third gender', and ruled that the fundamental rights granted under Indian Constitution will be applicable to them as well.
The apex court had also given the transgender people the right to self-identification of their gender as male, female or third gender.
"Supreme Court's 2014 judgement has not been implemented in State.
Governor assured us that he'll hold talks with concerned officers and resolve issues," said Salma Khan, who heads Kinner Maa Ek Samajik Sanstha.
