Hi Friends,
Recently we had yet another acid attack victim who succumbed to the injuries caused. Yet it was Preeti Rathi. All over the worl the sale of acid is banned but in the Indian context it is freely available in the Indian mart in retail. The cost is as low as Rs 30 per litre. The Supreme court has asked stated to take adequate action but so far no action is taken
My humble request would be that this is a henious crime and an individual is left physically, emotionaly, mentally, psychologiaclly and socially devastated. the need of the hour is strong and stringent laws to punish the culprit but more important is it's prevention.
Acid should not be freely available and it should be a licenced product. At all levels checks should be done. Police patrolling is of importance and CCTV monitoring. Specialised first aid training should be imparted to all and first aid kit should be available at various important points. Special helpline numbers are there but response to the call is of vital importance.
