SC to Examine PIL on Railway Quota for Acid Attack Victims

SC to Examine PIL on Railway Quota for Acid Attack Victims

The Supreme Court has agreed to look into a request made by a group called Atijeevan Society.

They want special train seats and cheaper train tickets for people who have been hurt by acid attacks.

Right now, these people don't get the same help as others with disabilities.

The group says this is unfair because acid attack victims often need to travel for medical treatment and can't afford expensive train tickets.

The court will now ask the government and other important groups to explain their side of the story.
