Citizen Raised Issue: Transgenders in Trains
Harrassment by Transgenders in Trains
Issues Raised:
1. They harass male passengers
2. They force people to give money
3. They misbehave with anyone who objects to their walking around in the trains
4. There is no one to listen to passenger complaints about Transgender harassment
5. They throw abuses at passengers and sometimes even get violent
6. RPF and GRP turn a blind eye towards such harassment
Solutions Identified:
1. RPF and GPR should be given the responsibility to not allow Transgenders, who are not passengers, inside the trains
2. If they are found inside trains without tickets harassing passengers, they must be fined and made to de-board
3. Government should make proper policies for the welfare of Transgenders
4. Begging and harassing the passengers in train must be made a criminal offence
5. Passengers should be empowered to report Transgender harassment through a railway helpline so that the Transgender could be removed from the train on the next station
6. TTE should be empowered to take action if harassment by Transgenders is reported in his train
7. Passengers should unite and fight the menace by objecting to their demands. more
