Mysore/Mysuru: Even as most of the transgenders of the city, who eke out a living by begging alms, are facing a lot of difficulties owing to the COVID-19 lockdown, a young lady architect of the city has drawn public attention by donating kits containing 14 essential items to transgenders.
While most transgenders sought alms from the public twice a week — Tuesday and Friday — some others became sex workers for their livelihood. But their trouble began when the Prime Minister called for Janata Curfew on Mar. 22, followed by the announcement of a nationwide lockdown till Apr.14, as the city came to a standstill with all shops and commercial establishments shut.
