Lalita Salve outside Bombay High Court last year

Nearly two months after CM Devendra Fadnavis cleared a file, on March 21, permitting the constable from Beed to undergo a gender reassignment surgery, her long wait has finally come to an end. Salve received an official order copy from the office of Beed SP that says, "Your application for gender reassignment is accepted; you are now permitted [to go ahead with it]." Salve applied for leave, and that too was cleared by the department.
