A news website on Saturday had reported that “as of now, there are 10-11 acid attack survivors living in the state of Uttarkhand”.
Rekha Arya, the State Women and Child Welfare Minister, while announcing the scheme said that the government was planning to start a pension scheme under which Rs 5,000-6,000 will be provided every month to the survivors so that they can live a life with dignity.
