Sima Basnet suffers from burns to her face it really is being treated at Bir Hospital, Kathmandu. Meanwhile, Sangita Pulami Magar who was affected the most, has horrific burns to her face, neck, chest and hands is still receiving treatment by a team of plastic surgeons and ophthalmologists at Kathmandu Medical College hospital.After speaking to the dad of Sangita ( Prem Pulami Magar) on the phone, I found out that the treatment for Sangita is ongoing. Her health is slowly improving and there has been progress in her visual acuity. However, sad news is that the perpetrator still hasn't been caught and no it makes me wonder been arrested on suspicion. Reasons for the henious attack is still unclear, but whatever it was, no one deserves having acid thrown on their faces or body parts. We cannot take away what has happened , but for today our concern should be to support the two victims with their recovery.Acid Attack is a cruel kind of oppression of women, leaving victims, not only with physical scars, but psychological torment. They leave a long-term pain, disfigurement and misery. *Nepal’s legal system has no specific provision for acid attacks, however, culprits, if arrested, are booked under culpable homicide which carries a fine of up to Rs 2,000 and a maximum sentence of four few months.
