We’ve all seen male cops as well as female cops but have you seen transgender cops? Well, now the Maharashtra police are recruiting trans people. It is now going to be common to see trans cops in Maharashtra as well. It is a great initiative by the Maharashtrian govt. to represent the community.
This decision was taken after Arya Pujari, a transperson, submitted a petition to the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (MAT). She was denied applying for the 18,331 posts for constables and driver constables in Maharashtra.
After this, the government applied for a plea to the High court to recruit trans people into the police force.
Director General Sanjay Kumar ordered applications to be open to transgender people from December 13.
Maharashtra is now following the criteria of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Bihar to recruit trans people. The panel has also referred to the UN guidelines.
