For Beed constable Lalit Salve and Aman Mohammed Khan, 2019 could not have arrived faster. In the last week of January, Lalit will undergo a second genital reconstruction surgery at St George Hospital. Meanwhile, parents of Aman, who was the youngest person in the state to undergo the procedure, are hoping that in the new year, their child can get admission to a school after he's done with his second surgery.

Speaking to mid-day from Beed, an excited Lalit said, "I've been told that I'll undergo the second stage of my genital reconstruction surgery this month. A complete health evaluation will be done for around a week, after which the surgery will be done." He's expected to come to Mumbai in the last week of January.
