Alan Duncan, British Minister of State in the Department of International Development, visited Acid Survivors Hospital in Dhaka on Tuesday.
'At the hospital I have seen many women
who have been victims
of acid throwing and learnt that the incidence of the crime has declined recently. But still it is far too bad a problem,' he said.
He had commended the foundation for providing treatment and support to the acid victims and expressed hope to continue their support to the ASF.
During the visit, Alan Duncan was accompanied, among others, by Chris Austin, country representative, Bangladesh at the Department of International Development and ASF executive director Monira Rahman.
The ASF receives funding from the DFID through Manusher Jonno Founda-tion, a release said.
