Mardan DPO stoppe­d from evicti­ng people who are transg­enderPESHAWAR: With the transgender community in the province under attack, there was a need to devise a well-organised strategy to protect them. A few weeks ago, the Mardan DPO had issued a notice barring people who are transgender from performing at events, threatening them with evictions should they violate the order. “They will have no city left to live in if such directives are not taken back,” cried the lawyer. He observed that a proper plan was required to protect people who are transgender. The bench restrained Mardan DPO from evicting people who are transgender from their homes and directed the police to ensure their safety and protection.
