Chandigarh admin drafts Rs 10,000 monthly aid scheme for disabled acid attack survivors, Punjab & Haryana HC informed
In response to the Punjab and Haryana High Court's directions for ensuring meaningful rehabilitation of acid attack survivors, the Chandigarh administration submitted Friday that it has framed a scheme titled SAHAS – Support and Assistance for Healing Acid Survivors – to provide Rs 10,000 per month as financial aid to survivors who have been rendered disabled. According to the draft scheme, only residents of Chandigarh will be eligible for this aid. The affidavit was filed by Anuradha S Chagti, secretary, social welfare, women and child development, stating that the scheme has been finalised and sent for approval to the competent authority. 'The concurrence from the Finance Department has been received and the funds are available under the state budget to extend the necessary support,' the administration said. SAHAS provides for a monthly financial assistance of Rs 10,000 sent to beneficiaries' bank accounts through Aadhaar-based direct benefit transfer (DBT). The affidavit was submitted in response to a contempt petition filed by advocate H C Arora, who had sought implementation of long-pending court directions for victim support. Submitting its response to the court, the administration concluded: 'The deponent has the highest regard for this Hon'ble High Court and cannot ever think of disobeying its orders.' It requested dismissal of the contempt petition in light of the steps taken. The administration stated that medical aid and interim relief are already available for survivors under an earlier scheme notified by the home department, and SAHAS is an additional initiative. Applicants must provide a disability certificate or a Unique Disability Identity Card (UDID) confirming the disability was caused by an acid attack. Applications can be submitted by the survivor or, in cases of severe disability, by a family member or legal heir. Other required documents include a copy of the FIR, Aadhaar card, proof of residence, bank account details, and an annual life certificate. The administration said all applications will be processed within a month, and the payments will begin from the first day of the following month. The scheme also allows for appeals in case an application is rejected. Aggrieved persons can approach the secretary of the social welfare department for redressal.
