Country's first 'Trans-T-Stall' opened at Guwahati Railway Station

Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has described the opening of the country's first 'Trans Tea Stall' at Guwahati Railway Station as progressive and transformational. This tea stall has been started a day before on Monday (March 13). Two transgenders have been kept as staff at the stall.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav tweeted about the launch of the tea stall. Sharing the photos of the stall, he wrote in the caption, 'India's first 'Trans Tea Stall' on the railway platform. Guwahati Railway Station. It can be seen in these photos that the 'Trans Tea Stall' is pink in colour. Along with tea, cold drinks, juices, biscuits and other items are available at the booth.
Anand Mahindra re-tweeted this tweet of the Railway Minister and wrote, 'This small initiative, in my view, is as important and transformational as many of your other progressive projects. Indian Railways carries more than 8 billion people. Bravo @ashwinivaishnav.
The transgender community will manage the 'trans tea stall'. North East Frontier Railway (NEFR) has initiated and implemented this project in collaboration with the All Assam Transgender Association. NEFR aims to empower the transgender community. NEFR has plans to open more such tea stalls at other railway stations in the region.
