Hyderabad: Residents and commuters near Bairamalguda Lake at Sagar X Roads have raised serious concerns about alleged public disturbances and harassment by a group of transgender individuals who frequently gather in the area. The matter was brought to the attention of the police by Daripally Raja Shekar Reddy, GHMC Floor Leader and Corporator of Lingojiguda Division.
In a formal representation to Deputy Commissioner of Police (LB Nagar Zone) Praveen and Additional DCP Koteshwar Rao, Raja Shekar Reddy submitted a letter on behalf of local residents. The letter outlined multiple complaints received from the public, particularly women and senior citizens, regarding aggressive behavior and inappropriate conduct in the vicinity of the lake.
The letter stated, “This is behalf of the local residents and commuters who frequent the area around Bairamalguda Lake near Sagar X Roads. We would like to bring to your kind attention an issue that has been causing serious inconvenience and concern to the public. In recent weeks, a group of individuals, identified as transgenders, have been regularly gathering near the lake and causing disturbances in the form of aggressive behavior, inappropriate conduct, and harassment of pedestrians and motorists.”
It further added, “While we understand and respect the rights of every individual, we also believe that public spaces should remain peaceful and accessible to all citizens without fear or discomfort.
