The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Delhi, had issued a circular directing all government hospitals having a ‘Burn and Plastic Ward’ along with facilities for plastic surgeons to provide free sex-reassignment surgeries after the DCW raised the issue with the department.
DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal issued notices to the DCP, IGI Airport and DG, DGCA after a viral video alleged that a Spicejet passenger took obscene photos of a cabin crew member.
Maliwal defied the Manipur government denial of permission to visit the state and landed in Imphal on Sunday in an effort to provide support and assistance to the victims amidst the devastating ethnic violence that has shaken the north-eastern state.
