Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: Uttar Pradesh government plans housing and health benefits for victims of acid attacks under PM and state schemes
An acid attack survivor says, "First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Maharaj. I am very happy in this way, as Maharaj has thought so much about us. I was at my Suroj Café around 1:30 when I received the news. My staff told me that Maharaj Ji has given very good news for us. As soon as I arrived at my workplace, I immediately picked up a newspaper and saw it..."

Cafe Sheroes Hangout is located in Sultanpur Delhi. Pretty close to Gurgaon too. Entirely run by Acid Attack Survivors. Beautiful ambience. Delicious food. Lovely people. And the most worthy cause! We held our meet up here today. Would recommend highly for small gatherings
There's no Gender of Pain & @ekamnyaay Delhi meet-up today echoed that
We met at Cafe Sheroes Hangout @SheroesHangout where people shared without judgments & heard each other
Stories of pain, suffering but also success & hope.
Beautiful evening ❤️
Thanks @alteralok 🙏
This is extremely urgent. A person in Kota has posted what appears to be a suicide note on Facebook. We are trying to reach them but need immediate help from local authorities.
Requesting @KotaPolice@PoliceRajasthan and any concerned officials to kindly intervene at the earliest and help trace the individual. A life may be at risk.
If anyone in Kota has contacts in the administration, please reach out immediately.
@SPSouthdinajpur Sir, we have not received any response yet. Perhaps you are not understanding the gravity of the situation.
We ask you and the Balurghat Police, what should we do? Should we remain silent and wait for another mishap, since there seems to be no action from your end?
It has been 3 days, and your inaction is deeply concerning. It appears that even such a serious matter is not being treated with the urgency it deserves.

#JusticeForSantoshi
A woman asked for her legal share. She was threatened. She complained to police.
And days later, acid was thrown on her.
This is the story of Santoshi Sharma Rajak from Balurghat, West Bengal. #JusticeForSantoshi
Santoshi had already filed a complaint on March 11, naming those threatening her over a land dispute.
On March 14, while on her way to the police station AGAIN, she was attacked with acid.
No arrests have been made yet.
The accused are still roaming freely.
Santoshi, her mother, and her 18-year-old daughter are living in fear.
She asked for protection. She was told police are busy with election duties.
Is her life less important?
We demand:
Immediate arrest of all accused
Police protection for Santoshi and her family
Accountability from authorities

When flights were cancelled in the UAE, Dhiraj Jain from Rajasthan, provided assistance to stranded Indians in Dubai in his Ajman farmhouse. He sent vehicles to collect travellers and offered food, beds, and safety, accommodating around 200 individuals. 🙏🏼
This Holi, we aren't just celebrating a festival; we are celebrating a spirit that is unbreakable.
Our smiles are our victory, and our courage is our most beautiful shade
Wishing you a very Happy Holi on Behalf of the "Sheroes Family"

Yesterday, our team led by @AnshuRa77858639 met the Secretary, DLSA Haridwar to brief her about Chhanv Foundation, our ongoing work, and the vision for a deeper, long-term collaboration to support acid attack and burn survivors.
The meeting was extremely positive and opened up strong possibilities for structured collaboration at both district and state levels. Discussions focused on survivor rehabilitation, employment linkages, data sharing, legal support, and capacity building through PLVs. Haridwar was also discussed as a potential pilot district, with guidance to formally approach SLSA Nainital to expand the impact across all 13 districts of Uttarakhand.
Such institutional partnerships are crucial to ensure justice, dignity, rehabilitation, and sustainable livelihoods for survivors. We look forward to taking these conversations forward with concrete action on ground.
Together, we move closer to a system that truly supports survivors beyond compensation.

Today, we lost Tarana!
Tarana was brutally attacked with acid in November in Gwalior by her late husband’s elder brother after she refused an immoral and unlawful demand. The attack left her with severe burns and life-threatening injuries.
Following the attack, Tarana was admitted to a local hospital that was not equipped to treat patients with extensive burns. At the time, Madhya Pradesh did not have a dedicated and effective response system for acid attack survivors. When this case reached us through our Agra centre, almost a month had already passed.
Chhanv Foundation intervened immediately and arranged Tarana’s transfer from Gwalior to @aiims_newdelhi, where she was admitted under the supervision of Dr. Shivangi Saha. From the day of her admission, her case was treated as high priority. She underwent multiple surgeries, and several more were planned as part of her long recovery process.
Despite receiving advanced medical care and every possible effort by the doctors, deep infections had already spread inside her wounds due to the delay in treatment. Tragically, Tarana could not be saved.
We are deeply saddened by her passing and stand in solidarity with her family during this extremely painful time.
More details and further actions will follow.
#acidviolence #stopacidattacks #justicefortarana
This reel exists because Tarana doesn’t.
She was attacked with acid.
She fought for her life.
And on 04 January 2026, she lost that fight.
This is not just about one man’s crime.
This is about delayed treatment.
Broken systems.
And a response that came too late.
An acid attack does not end with the attack.
It continues in hospitals that are not equipped.
In delays that turn injuries into deaths.
In a system that fails survivors again and again.
Do not watch this reel and scroll away.
Your silence is part of the problem.
Raise your voice. Demand justice. Demand the strictest punishment for her murderer. Demand systemic reform so no survivor is left to die waiting.
Comment. Share. Speak up.
Make this reel louder until accountability follows.

What is our duty as citizens?
Our duty is not limited to sympathy posts or forwarding news.
Our duty is to refuse silence.
To ask uncomfortable questions.
To demand systems that protect life, not just record death.
Citizenship means standing with the weakest,
especially when doing so gives us no reward, no applause, no visibility.
If we do not speak when the most violated die quietly,
we should not be surprised when injustice becomes normal.
Today, we said our last goodbye to Tarana.
Her family has taken her mortal remains to her hometown, where the burial will take place later this evening.
We respectfully appeal to the Gwalior district administration and local public leaders to be present and stand with the family.
If you are in Gwalior, please find time to come and say your final goodbye to Tarana. @dmgwalior@gwalior@CMMadhyaPradesh@DrMohanYadav51@ChouhanShivraj@StopAcidAttacks@CafeSheroes_Del@aajtak@ndtv@thesheroestv
