A young man in Kolkata has taken up the challenge to stock public toilets in the city with free sanitary napkins. The Bansdroni public toilet stocked with free sanitary napkins. THE TRIDHARA INITIATIVENot too long ago, Sobhan Mukherjee made news by starting up the Tridhara toilets, an initiative to have separate public toilets for transgenders. Sobhan suggested that instead of building a new set of restrooms two of six ladies' toilets be re-labelled for transgenders. Naming the initiative 'Tridhara' (the third power) and labelling the set-aside toilets with posters reading the same, Sobhan set up arguably the first-ever separate toilets for transgenders in India.
