New Rules for Acid Attack Victims in India

Introduction

The Supreme Court of India wants the government to change the laws about acid attacks. They want stronger punishments for criminals and more help for victims.

Main Body

A woman named Shaheen Malik asked the court for help. Now, the law says people with internal acid injuries are also disabled. This helps them get money and care from the government. More people are using acid to hurt others. The court says the law must be stronger. They want the person accused of the crime to prove they are innocent. The court also wants to take money from criminals to pay the victims. They want to punish shops that sell acid illegally because acid is too cheap and easy to find.

Conclusion

The court asked the government to look at these changes. The judges will meet again in two weeks.

⚡ The Power of 'WANT'

In this text, we see one word used many times to describe a goal: Want.

For A2 learners, Want is the easiest way to express a need or a desire. It is always followed by another action word (verb).

How it works in the story:

  • Court → want → change (The court desires a change)
  • Court → want → punish (The court desires to punish)

The Simple Pattern: Person/Group + want + Action

Examples for your life:

  • I want to learn English.
  • Students want to pass the test.
  • The teacher wants to help.

🛠️ Useful Words for 'People'

Stop using only the word 'people'. This article uses specific words to describe roles. This makes your English sound more advanced (A2 level).

  • Victims → People who are hurt.
  • Criminals → People who break the law.
  • Judges → People who make legal decisions.

Quick Tip: Use these specific names instead of 'the person' to be clearer.
