The people organization and media is continuously making administration aware about the nastiest condition and also doing advocacy for improvement of the economic condition through the availability of basic amenities and employment. However the administration is more interested in highlighting the weavers children are not suffering from malnutrition but from other disease rather than taking some positive aspect to improve the condition. The ICDS centre is activate for the development of children up to 5 years and due to their negligence children are suffering from malnutrition. Administration gaze the death of six children one by one.

The representative from both religion (Hindu & Muslim) unites at one platform under the banner of Bunkar dastkar Adhikar manch, a non -political trade union of weavers and artisans in Varanasi and pledge now no children will die due to malnutrition and notify the responsible authorities their protest will continue until they are doing negligence.

After the death of the Shahbuddin 104 children were malnourished identified in which 64 children were suffering severely malnourished until and unless no preventive measures taken. A team of 10 officers came after the punitive action taken against ICDS worker, BDO and CDPO on the report submitted by the investigation team of three including chief Medical officer and they did not interact with anyone neither did the investigation of fact.http://pvchr.blogspot.com/2009/05/punitive-action-against-officials-in.html
