Stop Acid Attacks in Nepal

Watch the video below of one of the victims Sima Basnet speaking about the incident.
Acid attack incidents are common in
neighbouring country India and also reported frequently in the Terai
region of Nepal. The fact that people watch Indian incidents in form of
reality shows / investigation shows could have easily inspired to copy
such acts. While India has strict laws for such cases, Nepal has yet to
come up with specific laws addressing such incidents.
Although the reason for this particular
attack is yet to be revealed, the motive is likely to have involved some
form of revenge. Reportedly, acid attacks are common form of revenge
bid in south Asian countries.

The incident should be seriously condemned and intensive investigations should be carried forward to search for the culprit and punish him appropriately. Steps should indeed be taken to discourage such incidents in the future. In addition, appropriate laws on who can sell and purchase the acid can restrict the easy availability, thus helping to prevent future incidents.
