CoFounder of Uribaba, director *Sourav Chakraborty* who was seen soaking in the festive spirit with the community was touched by the sporting spirit of the community. He said " A lot of people tend to disassociate themselves from this community . However, this community has a lot to offer to us. Through this activity we have tried to showcase a different side to our friendly trans people where instead of receiving benefits, they are spreading joy and happiness at a time when people are coping up from the depressed pandemic situation.
