The most talked about achievement of the Kochi metro rail has been hiring around 20 transgender people as part of its work force, a first for any state.
The transgender employees would be part of departments like house keeping and even customer care at metro stations.
Now, in a video that has gone viral, the new recruits have a message for the commuters. The video features employees belonging to the third gender urging people to not look at them with disgust or pity when they see them working at metro stations.
"I want you to look at me, and just see a person doing a job," an employee makes an impassioned plea in the video.
