Noida Sector-50 metro station will be dedicated to the transgender community

Noida:

Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) will make Noida Sector-50 metro station dedicated to the transgender community, said Ritu Maheshwari, CEO of Noida Authority, on Sunday.

Maheshwari said that jobs will be provided for members of the transgender community so that they can connect with the mainstream. The station will be open to all commuters, she added.

“This initiative was taken to raise and provide jobs for the transgender community. As part of this initiative, they will be employed for certain activities such as ticketing and housekeeping,” said Ms. Maheshwari.

“Various NGOs working for the transgender community are helping to move the initiative forward. It comes after we have dedicated two stations as pink stations while considering facilities for women,” she added.

She further informed that to facilitate transgender people, the required upgrade (like toilets) would also take place at the station. The transformation should be completed in a month.
