This year’s Chandigarh Carnival, which will last three days beginning Friday, has the theme of ‘rainbow’. A stall has been given by the UT administration, which organises the fest, to transgenders to be able to spread awareness about themselves and their issues. A specific purpose is to make people aware that the UT has a transgender welfare board constituted by the administration. Dhananjay Chauhan, a transgender community leader and a member of the welfare board, said, “This is the first time that our community will have a stall, where six of our members will spread awareness about the community. “The welfare board is in talks with the UT administration so that the transgender students can be provided free education too,”
