डेटा संग्रहण की प्रक्रिया शुरू

मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ के आदेश पर महिला कल्याण विभाग ने एक व्यापक डेटा संग्रहण प्रक्रिया का काम शुरू कर दिया है। इसमें तीन तलाक और एसिड अटैक पीड़िताओं के साथ-साथ निराश्रित महिलाओं के बारे में जानकारी इकट्ठा की जा रही है। इसके माध्यम से, सरकार यह सुनिश्चित करेगी कि पात्र महिलाओं को प्राथमिकता के आधार पर योजनाओं का लाभ दिया जाए। शासन स्तर पर आवश्यक दिशा-निर्देश और शासनादेश (जीओ) इस प्रक्रिया को गति देने के लिए बनाए जा रहे हैं।

सरकारी योजनाओं से मिली राहत

महिला कल्याण विभाग ने पीड़ित महिलाओं का सत्यापन काम शुरू कर दिया है। इससे लाभार्थियों की पहचान कर उन्हें विभिन्न सरकारी योजनाओं से जोड़ा जाएगा। योगी सरकार का लक्ष्य है कि किसी भी योग्य महिला को केवल जानकारी की कमी या जटिलताओं के कारण सरकारी सहायता से वंचित नहीं रहना चाहिए। इसके लिए विभागों के बीच बेहतर समन्वय स्थापित किया जा रहा है।

मुख्यमंत्री द्वारा दिए गए निर्देश

मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ ने उच्चस्तरीय बैठक में अधिकारियों को स्पष्ट रूप से निर्देश दिए हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि जिन महिलाओं को तीन तलाक या एसिड अटैक जैसी गंभीर समस्याओं का सामना करना पड़ा है, और जिनके पास स्थायी आवास नहीं है, उन्हें प्रधानमंत्री या मुख्यमंत्री आवास योजना का लाभ दिया जाए। इसके साथ-साथ आयुष्मान भारत योजना के अंतर्गत उन्हें स्वस्थ रहने के लिए भी जरूरी सेवाएं उपलब्ध कराई जाएंगी।

सुरक्षित जीवन का निर्माण

विशेष रूप से एसिड अटैक पीड़ित महिलाओं को दीर्घकालिक चिकित्सा, सर्जरी और पुनर्वास की आवश्यकता होती है। वहीं, तीन तलाक से प्रभावित महिलाएं अक्सर आर्थिक और सामाजिक दबाव का सामना करती हैं। इस दृष्टिकोण से योगी सरकार आवास और स्वास्थ्य सुरक्षा प्रदान करके उनके जीवन को बेहतर और सुरक्षित बनाने का प्रयास कर रही है।

Details of the Incident

The woman reported that the vandalism occurred while she was not at home. Upon returning in the evening, she noticed that her car had been splashed with colours. Initially dismissing it as a harmless prank, she became alarmed when she discovered that the paint began to peel off while she attempted to clean the vehicle with water. The deterioration of the car’s paint raised concerns that acid had been mixed with the colour, leading to significant damage.

Survivor Says Her Case Barely Moved for Years

Malik explained that she spent years watching her file gather dust. “Mere saath 2009 mein attack hua tha, abhi tak trial chal raha hai,” she told the judges, noting that between 2009 and 2013 there was virtually no progress. She said the trial, now at the stage of final arguments in a Rohini court, only picked up again when a judicial officer, Dr. Parminder Kaur, revived the matter.

Her counsel added that others who suffered similar attacks face devastating consequences: “There are others who are made to drink acid and they suffer equally. They are made to eat food by food pipe.”

Court Expresses Outrage Over Delay

The Chief Justice reacted strongly to the disclosure, questioning how a case of such brutality could be left unresolved for so long especially in the nation’s capital. “The offence is of 2009 and the trial is not completed! If the National Capital cannot respond to these challenges, then who will deal with it? It is a shame on the system!” he said.

Calling the situation “a mockery of the system,” the CJI asked Malik to file an application so the Supreme Court could directly push for the case to be concluded.

SC Orders Nationwide Data Collection on Acid Attack Trials

Shocked by the length of Malik’s wait, the Court expanded its focus beyond her case. It directed all High Courts to compile and submit information on every pending acid attack trial across their jurisdictions. The Bench issued notice and asked the Registrar Generals of all High Courts to furnish the data before the next hearing.

Solicitor General Supports Strong Action

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was present in court, agreed that the system had failed survivors. He said perpetrators deserved no leniency: “The perpetrator should meet with the same ruthlessness as done here. No agency can oppose this.”

He also backed the idea of treating severe acid attack cases particularly incidents involving forced ingestion as disabilities under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. “I don’t think any respondent can oppose this. It should be treated as disability. They should be considered in the Act,” he said.

CJI Calls for Government Intervention

The Chief Justice urged the Centre to step in decisively: “Mr. Solicitor General, do something… The definition of ‘disabled’ can include them as well. There can be an ordinance. This (the delay in criminal trial) is a mockery of the system.”

He also remarked that such offences may require dedicated courts: “There should be no sympathy for such persons (accused).”

PIL Points to Legal Gaps Affecting Acid Ingestion Survivors

The petition filed through AoR Anuj Kapoor highlights a loophole in the disability law, which restricts recognition to survivors whose bodies were disfigured by acid being thrown. Those forced to drink acid who may live with lifelong internal injuries, need feeding pipes, and lose mobility do not qualify for disability certificates, cutting them off from essential rehabilitation and financial support.

These concerns, raised before the Bench, reinforced the need for reforms that Malik’s PIL seeks, including amendments to the RPwD Act.

Case to Be Taken Up Again Next Week

The Court will revisit the matter next week as it waits for data on acid attack trials nationwide and considers measures to accelerate pending cases and strengthen protections for survivors.

The programme commenced with an immersive familiarisation tour of the hotel, offering participants an insider’s perspective on the Front of the House and Heart of the House operations. From observing guest interactions at the reception to experiencing the precision of back-of-house culinary and housekeeping functions, the orientation laid the groundwork for a comprehensive training programme designed to build technical expertise and confidence.

The curriculum covered diverse areas of hospitality which included – Indian, Chinese, and Bakery production beverage and mocktail preparation, front office operations, and modules on grooming and personality development facilitated by the Learning & Development team at Taj Mahal, New Delhi. Parallel sensitisation sessions for associates and assigned buddies ensured a supportive ecosystem, embedding empathy and inclusion into the training journey.

Our association with Chhanv Foundation instils our belief that potential knows no bounds when met with the right platform and encouragement.”

By equipping survivors with essential skills and access to dignified livelihoods, Taj Mahal, New Delhi continues to advance IHCL’s vision of inclusive progress and responsible growth under the Paathya framework.

The post CSR News: Taj Mahal, New Delhi Partners with Chhanv Foundation to Champion Inclusion of Acid Attack Survivors through Hospitality Skilling appeared first on The CSR Journal.

The horrific incident unfolded while she was returning home after withdrawing Rs 20,000 from a bank, part of the ongoing wedding preparations she was managing alone. Her father had passed away and her younger brother was unable to assist. Around 3 PM, two men on a bike intercepted her. One of them, later identified as Ram Janam Singh Patel, doused her with acid, allegedly shouting, “If I can’t have you, no one will.”

Patel, who had previously been in a relationship with the victim, confessed during police interrogation that his goal was to disfigure her not kill so the wedding would be called off and he could still marry her. Reema sustained deep burns on her face, shoulder, neck, and upper torso and was rushed first to the local community health centre before being transferred to Global Hospital in Azamgarh for advanced care.

Police Arrests Three People Related to the Case

The police have since arrested Patel and two accomplices. The motorbike used in the crime was also recovered. Authorities are continuing investigations as public outrage grows over the recurring pattern of such gender-based crimes in the state.

This is not an isolated event. Just last month in Shahjahanpur, another district in Uttar Pradesh, a man allegedly attacked his wife and two daughters with acid over suspicions of infidelity. These cases add to a growing body of evidence that acid attacks remain a common form of control and retaliation particularly against women despite legal restrictions and social condemnation.

Data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) paints a bleak picture. Between 2017 and 2021, India officially recorded 1,362 acid attack cases, with 176 reported in 2021 alone and another 73 classified as “attempted attacks.” West Bengal reported the most that year, followed by Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. However, human rights organisations warn that these figures may underrepresent the actual scale, as nearly 60% of cases are believed to go unreported annually.

What are the Consequences of Acid Attacks?

The consequences of an acid attack are devastating. Victims often face permanent disfigurement, blindness, and intense psychological trauma. According to global data, 80% of acid attack survivors are women, and in 76% of cases, the assailant is someone known to them frequently as a spurned partner, jealous acquaintance, or relative.

Yogita Bhayana, an activist and founder of the organisation PARI, emphasised the psychological impact: “The physical damage is immediate, but the mental trauma can last a lifetime. Survivors suffer from PTSD, identity loss, and deep emotional scars that society often overlooks.”

Despite numerous legal reforms to regulate the sale of acid and secure compensation for victims, enforcement remains inconsistent. A social experiment by actress Deepika Padukone’s team during the release of her film Chhapaak based on the life of an acid attack survivor revealed how easily acid could still be purchased without regulation. In Mumbai alone, 24 bottles were obtained within days.

What NCRB Data Says About the Cases?

The path to justice for survivors is often long and draining. NCRB data from 2021 indicates that 773 acid attack cases were pending trial, up from 662 in 2020. Only 2.46% (19 cases) were resolved in court that year. This stands in stark contrast to the severity and urgency these crimes demand. Delays in the judicial process frequently prolong the suffering of survivors and slow down the healing process.

Activists are now urging for tighter implementation of acid sale laws, stronger support systems for survivors, and quicker legal resolutions. For victims like Reema, the journey ahead involves physical recovery but also emotional healing, public reintegration, and the pursuit of justice in a system that too often fails to act swiftly.

The Laxmi Foundation has been instrumental in offering a range of support services including medical, legal, and educational assistance to survivors of acid attacks. The organization also works tirelessly to raise awareness about the prevalence of such attacks and advocates for stricter laws to prevent them.

“We are excited to announce our partnership with Lumina Datamatics, who will be collaborating with us on our educational initiative for survivors of acid attacks. Through this collaboration, our goal is to provide educational resources to both survivors and their children, ensuring they have the necessary tools to rebuild their lives. At the age of 15, I experienced an acid attack that profoundly impacted my life. The incident highlighted the devastating consequences such an act can have on an individual. Being unable to continue education due to the attack underscored the importance of education in fostering personal development and resilience. It served as a stark reminder of the critical role education plays in empowering individuals to overcome adversity and thrive.” said Laxmi, founder of The Laxmi Foundation.

Sameer Kanodia, Managing Director and CEO of Lumina Datamatics, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “At Lumina Datamatics, we believe in leveraging our resources and expertise to make a positive impact on society. Partnering with The Laxmi Foundation aligns with our commitment to social responsibility and community development. We are dedicated to supporting the educational initiatives for survivors of acid attacks and their children, helping them achieve their potential.”

Anju Kanodia, Executive Director of Lumina Datamatics, added, “Community development remains at the core of every initiative we undertake at Lumina Datamatics. This partnership with The Laxmi Foundation is a testament to our commitment to holistic progress and empowerment. We look forward to making a significant difference in the lives of survivors and their families through education and support.”
