CHENNAI: Three years after the primary batch of homes had been equipped to transsexuals within the city, Tamil Nadu has allotted 254 extra for them at the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board (TNSCB) tenements in Ezhil Nagar, Thoraipakkam.
“This home is a blessing to us. We had been suffering with out one,” stated Sivagami, who, after moving to town a decade ago struggled for a long time via dwelling on the streets, since nobody used to be prepared to rent her a space. “We are all slowly moving in and arranging our furnishings, once everything is in position I will be able to paintings with out pressure,” she stated. Sivagami is an entrepreneur who offers in clothes.
The two-room properties had been allotted via TNSCB, three weeks ago. The properties had been built underneath the Emergency Tsunami Reconstruction Project .
In 2016, after years of pleas and protests, the state thru TNSCB had allotted 236 properties to transsexuals at the All India Radio land in Thiruvottiyur. Though participants from the group moved in, their happiness used to be short-lived after being ostracised via the local community. There used to be also an incident where a transsexual used to be chased and attacked at evening via two males.
“We only hope we don’t face such scenarios,” stated Mallika, a resident at the Ezhil Nagar tenements. She further complained that they've been dealing with ‘issues’ with the local community since they moved in.
“Many do not communicate to us and steer clear of crossing our houses. It is disappointing, taking into account the modern age we are living in,” she stated.
Apart from the transsexuals, they also have households who had been moved from quite a lot of portions of town to make way for brand new development tasks.
Officials from TNSCB stated they are in contact with them to verify they live in peace and cohesion with the remainder of the households.
“We are also in contact with our group development officers and native authorities, who're addressing their grievances, often,” stated a senior reputable from the board.
