Staff Reporter, Habiganj/

Passengers are fed up with the extortion of Hijras in trains and buses at various places in Habiganj district. Not only that, many are forced to get down from trains and buses as they are fed up with their torture.
It is known that 15 trains, including inter-city, run daily from Shaistaganj Junction to different districts. Hijras started extortion from Shaistaganj junction. After that they again split into factions from different points of the train and extorted money. Passengers were assaulted if they did not pay. Many women and young passengers were embarrassed by their behavior and forced to pay the money.

On the other hand, the bus passengers are also in the same situation. As soon as the Shaistaganj new bridge was crossed, the Hijras who were divided into several groups got into the car and started extorting. Hijras claim that money is not available in shops or wedding dresses as before. Not extortion, forced to live with help from trains and buses.
