Swati Bidhan Baruah has become the country's first transgender legal counsel of the Airport Authority of India. She hails from Guwahati and is a law graduate. wAn elated Swati said-'I am very happy, it's a semi-Central government job. The Assam government should have taken such a step.' The AAI has impanelled Swati in its panel of advocates. Last year, she was selected as 1 among 20 judges to mediate cases in Lok Adalat.
