Transwomen in Ezhil Nagar are allegedly living in dangerous, dilapidated government housing. This is in the same Sholinganallur constituency where Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay resides (Neelangarai).

They’re asking CM Vijay for basic dignity:
• Safe homes
• Magalir Urimai Thogai
• Employment opportunities

TVK MLA ‘ECR’ P. Saravanan says action is coming.

The question is: why did it take this long?
