[Resolved]  Railway Hijra — Harassment by hijras on trains and platforms

Dear Sir,

When I am a frequent traveller. I travel to chennai and bangalore by train every week. Everytime I board the train, a group of Hijras come and demand for money. If not given any money to them, they use a very bad language and even get ready to manhandle or try to remove clothes. I give them some money everytime to avoid beaten by them.

This is bad and I complained to police many times. They dont even respond at all. I even saw one police taking money from a hijra at bangalore cty jn station. This proves that some police are indirectly encouraging hijras to go and demand people and annoy them during travel.

First of all, why are those hijras on the platform and in the train without a ticket? Will the ticket collector leave any normal person if he travels without a ticket? Why do officials keep quiet when these hijras do all these nonsense in public places. Are officials wantedly sending these hijras on to people for their money collections so that they too have a share from these hijras?

I think there should be strict laws made against these hijra criminals.

It is true that people have been harassed by those criminals everyday. There will not be any solution for this problem until common public change their mindset. We can observe that most of the people prefer to through some money and keep quiet, saying that we should we mess with those people. Sometimes when they harass some one, others will be laughing at that. Common public do not have unity which is the strength of those b***ards. Politicians seems to be worried of losing their support if they make any move. I wish to know whether passenger safety is the responsibility of railways or not. Lot of NGOs are there to protect those criminals who abuse, sexually harass innocent persons. Can we take this issue to the Ministry of Railways? Use Pepper Sprays? or shove them from running trains?
Its 'Throw some Money'. sorry for the typo
Yeah, this is happening very frequently, I do see people are afraid when ever hijras gang enter into train bogi. I don't understand the responsibility of Railway Police Protection. I do see hijras are manhandling innocent passenger in General bogis. Does this mean general bogi passengers are least bothered? Railway ministry must take necessary action against it.
Dear sir
Today I and my 2 friends travel durg to Bilaspur.In the train Hijra come to our birth and demand money, my 2 friends gives money but when i refuse to give money because of my friends already gives money to hijra, than hijra use bad language for me and also harass physically.Sir pls take strict action for these type of situations in the train.
This type of harrassment at the hand of transgender is a common scene even at Kolkata local train. 7-8 months back, while traveling in local train from khardah to Barrackpore, two hijras demanded money from me and threatened if I don't give they willl not allow me to depart from the train at Barrackpore.In order to avoid the situation I thought of giving few bucks but by force they took around 3k .At that time I was not sure if complaint in railway police would had helped me but suddenly today I came across this forum and thought of sharing my experience. Currently I am not working and hardly travel by local train, if required I prefer traveling by others transport just to avoid such situations. Earlier when I was working at Kolkata, I had to travel from Barrackpore daily on train and most of the day I had to pay them as I found others passenger paying them.
