Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar has unconstitutionally banned transgender persons from begging as well as seeking donations at ceremonies. Meanwhile no such ban on cisgender people who seek alms.

Y don’t u all learn tailoring..
There r many NGOs who r teaching tailoring to the females,after learning the art,many earn minimum of Rs800 a day.
I have travelled around the world never seen Transgender’s begging at Signals,Trains..buses ..
There has to b an alternate.

Great idea. Could you please share names and contact numbers of 4-5 NGOs that are willing to teach tailoring, free of cost, to transgender persons?
