Chandigarh, December 30

Calling transgenders an important part of the society, Chief Electoral Officer Dr S Karuna Raju on Thursday solicited their support and participation in the upcoming Assembly elections.

Dr Raju accompanied by Additional CEO Amandeep Kaur was holding a virtual meeting with representatives of the transgender community to chalk out strategy for 100 per cent enrolment of eligible transgender electors so that they could exercise their franchise in the elections.

Dr Raju assured hassle-free preparation of their voter IDs since the EC had simplified the process. — TNS
