[1]New Delhi: To prevent rising incidents of acid attacks, especially against women, the sale of acid will be regulated by strict guidelines and the strength of the harmful substance to be sold in retail would be reduced, the Centre informed the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Acid would be treated as “poison.” Acid would be sold only by a licence-holder who will either be a firm or a company or would be under supervision of an accredited representative or such firm or company.
He said acid will be sold only to a person above 18 years of age upon production of a photo ID and proof of address.
