The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal has written to all Ministers of the city government urging them to facilitate jobs for acid attack victims in their respective departments.
The DCW which is working with the Delhi government to rehabilitate acid attack victims has collected the CVs of 33 acid attack victims.
"In this regard I would like to bring to you notice an order by the Chief Minister to provide government jobs to 35 acid attack victims of Delhi which was widely reported by media," Maliwal said in her letter.
The Commission, she said, along with six acid attack victims had met Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on August 6 who had assured them help.
"It was also decided in this meeting that DCW will collect the CVs of the 35 victims and submit the same to Delhi government. At present, the Commission has collected the CVs of 33 acid attack victims to facilitate timely provision of jobs to these victims. I request you to kindly consider these CVs and place these victims in the departments under you ministries," she added.
After the August 6 meeting, the DCW chief had began working on the profiling of these acid attack victims to recommend government jobs for them as per their demand and eligibility.
