The Traffic Assistants will be deployed at various junctions across the city, assisting in managing vehicular movement, ensuring road safety, and addressing traffic issues.

The program has garnered widespread praise, with citizens and activists applauding the Hyderabad Police for taking a bold step toward inclusivity. The transgender Traffic Assistants have undergone rigorous training to equip them for their roles, and their involvement is expected to bring positive changes to traffic management in the city.

The deployment of transgender Traffic Assistants is a first for Hyderabad and sets a precedent for other cities to follow. It underscores the city’s progressive approach to equality and diversity, paving the way for greater acceptance and integration of marginalized communities.
