Transgender Guards Unpaid for Months; PMC Commissioner Promises Action

A group of eleven transgender security guards in Pune haven't been paid their salaries for half a year.

They work for the city through a company that the city hired.

This is a problem because the guards need the money to live.

The city commissioner says he's looking into it and wants the guards to get paid quickly.

These jobs were seen as a good way for the guards to have a stable income, but now they might have to go back to less secure ways of making money.

A charity that helps transgender people is worried because the government has promised to help the community, but things like this show that promise isn't always kept.
