In Bd, there is a strong law in place. Any low life sucker does it get hang till death/lifetime imprisoned.

Now that is progress. Well done BD

I have bought them too.. but i doubt they can do much harm...

They can. Again unregulated. Lots of small shops or even small scale super markets sell those. Common people cannot know how much powerful they can be.

Acid is widely available for sale in Pakistan. One of the steps to curb acid attacks should be regulate its sales strictly.

Kanwal Qayyum, a Pakistani woman, is getting her life back after her husband splashed her with acid.

He did not want not want her to become an air hostess.

Her story, which has come to limelight, draws attention once again to the serious threat faced by women in South Asia from unchecked sale of acids.

Kanwal was 16 when she was married to her distant cousin. The man was not educated and did some menial jobs, before turning completely jobless and getting addicted to drugs. By then, they had 12 year old son and eight year old daughter.

Fearing for the future of her children, she got herself educated, started looking for jobs, and was lucky to get an offer from an international airlines.

It didn't go down too well with her husband. One day when she opened the door, he was there and he threw acid on her face after which all she could remember was the excruciating pain, notes Dawn.

The incident had completely shattered her face. She was left with xad no eyebrows, lashes or nose. Her own child didn't want to face her as she was scared.

A Pakistani NGO Depilex Smile again Foundation, which works with acid victims, introduced Kanwal to UK cosmetic surgeon Dr. Asim Shahmalak.

He travelled to Pakistan for two years to help the women like her. He rebuilt her eye brows and lashes by taking the hair from the back of her scalp and did her nose with the tissue taken from her thighs.

Dr Shahmalak says he wept on hearing the stories of women like her. He spent $50,000 on the treatment of Kanwal and 5 other acid attack victims, notes Metro. He also added what he does to help them is the most rewarding thing he could do.

As she got somewhat close to her old face back through surgeries, she became more confident and reunited with her family. She now plans to get married to a man who had stood by her.

She still needs a few more surgeries, which Dr Shahmalak is preparing for.

Eye for an eye. Person who did this should be punished the same way.

Acid attacks is not only a South Asia issue, such attacks are on rise in UK and mostly done by and on non Asians.
