A group of about 15 transgenders who hail from different parts of Saurashtra region have been supplying food packets to the villagers of Vanthali taluka who were badly affected in the floods.
They have been making food all by themselves, packing them in polythene packets and distributing it among the poor and slum-dwellers.

When will they quit using the obsolete word "eunuch" for crying out loud? That is not even close to accurate reporting. The word they're looking for is hijra - or transgender person. Calling hijras "eunuchs" is just plain insulting.
