Supreme Court urges Centre to ban on retail acid sales in India
- The Supreme Court asked the Centre to consider a complete ban on retail acid sales or impose strict restrictions.
- The court noted that 2013 guidelines regulating acid sales have largely become obsolete and are not being properly followed.
- It directed states that have not framed rules on acid sales to do so, while seeking stricter safeguards from the Centre.
- The directions came during a PIL by acid-attack survivor Shaheen Malik, with the court also seeking suggestions on awareness and emergency response.
