The Supreme Court has recently observed that acid attacks not only cause physical and psychological harm to the victim but also attach social stigma and fewer job opportunities. The court directed the state governments to add acid attack victims in the list of persons with disabilities so that they can get disability benefits including the reservation benefits in employment. The direction comes in the light of increasing acid attacks. The court also ordered for a stricter implementation of laws prohibiting the sale of acids and impose stricter punishment on the person selling acid without authorization.
