Acid attack, a dreadful stunt

every now and then we hear acid attacks taking place on women. No matter what the situation is, such an inhuman act could never be justified. Destroying somebody's body to such an extent where the victim herself have hard time in accepting it and the sufferings, that person goes through because of it is something indefinable. According to the statistics 2014 saw a never-before 309 acid attack incidents being reported from across the country. This is almost 300 per cent more than the average number of such cases witnessed during the preceding three years.
Uttar Pradesh topped the list with 185 cases till November 2014, followed by Madhya Pradesh with 53 cases.
The years 2011, 2012 and 2013 witnessed 83, 85 and 66 cases being reported respectively, but this number shot up to 309 in 2014 – almost four times the average number of acid attack cases in the preceding years. The number of persons arrested is only 208 as against 309 cases reported.
The most common reason these days behind such attacks is REVENGE. We all must have heard cases like where a guy attacks women with acid after being rejected by her or refusal by a woman for sexual advances or dowry disagreements. How could someone be so insensitive? And would such action turn that rejection into an approval? Or would such action bring any positive changes in their lives? I understand accepting a rejection could be tough but it doesn't mean they have to take such drastic step. People need to simply accept the rejection and move on with it.Life is much beyond it and people just need to see things from different perspective. When one door closes, many other opens but one needs to tackle with situations smartly and humanly. You will never get anything from destroying someone else's life. Intact in a way you will destroy your life too.  

  Acid attack victims are often reported to have a higher level of anxiety, depression and score high on the Derriford appearance scale, which measures psychological distress due to one's concern for their appearance.   In 2013, India introduced amendment to the Indian Penal Code through the Criminal law (Amendment) act, 2013, making acid attacks a specific offence with a punishment of imprisonment not less than 10 years and which can extend to life imprisonment and with fine. But this law doesn't seem to be that effective, seeing the rising number of acid attacks.  There is a need to take more strict actions against such a crime. 10 years imprisonment is not sufficient for lifetime destruction caused by them and it should be replaced by life imprisonment. Also there is a need to put ban on the sale of acids. Most of the surgeries these victims go through are extremely expensive and beyond the reach of most. So, government needs to give proper compensation and jobs to the acid attack victims.
