Transgenders to have a separate toilet as Delhi metro makes a provision to help them with unhindered access to toilets at the stations.
Delhi Metro has made the provision of allowing them access to separate toilets at its stations, which were hitherto meant for Divyanjans only. “In its efforts to provide safe space and prevent gender discrimination against transgenders, Delhi Metro on priority basis has designated its existing toilets meant only for Divynagjans so far, to be accessible for the transgenders too,” a Delhi Metro official said.
Currently, there are 347 such separate dedicated toilets (in addition to the regular toilets for other passengers) at metro stations spread across the network.
To guide transgenders to these toilets, bilingual signages (English and Hindi both) along with symbols for both the “Persons with Disabilities” and “Transgenders” have been installed adjacent to these toilets. ANI
