DCW Chairperson Swati Maliwal said two acid attack victims have been given jobs in the Commission.
"One of them will be a part of the 'Acid Watch Cell' of the Delhi Commission for Women. Some of the priorities of the Acid Watch cell are ensuring acid attack victims get proper treatment as well as to follow-up their cases in court.
