The Tarakeshwor municipality in Kathmandu has decided to provide a monthly incentive of Rs 5,000 per capita to persons belonging to the third-gender community.
The provision will be coming into effect from the upcoming fiscal year.
Municipality mayor Krishna Hari Maharjan said the people who are legally recognized as the third-gender shall get the monthly allowance as envisaged in the Constitution.
He shared about the further plans of the local government to implement programmes aiming to build a violence-free society by combating all sorts of violence including gender-based, domestic and women-violence. A participatory approach will be prompted in the implementation of such programmes, it is said.
