"We moved the court in June 2020 and the judgment came in our favour this year. It is a welcome decision that the Karnataka police is going to hire us," Nisha said.
According to her, there are over a lakh transgenders across Karnataka, of which about 13,000 are affiliated to her organisation.
Nisha said the next challenge will be to create a conducive atmosphere for transgenders in the offices where they work.
