Thanks to Parul
Sharma and 200 Swedish donors for first support of ten thousand to Family
through Ms. Shruti Nagvanshi,( http://shrutinagvanshi.com/we-as-team/shruti-nagvanshi/)
Founder and managing trustee of PVCHR.
"Some
people are spreading misleading information that the children died of diarrhea
but that is not true. These children died of hunger and malnutrition,"
said Shruti.
Shruti, head of
a human rights organisation, working among weavers in Varanasi says that Naazra
had an Above Poverty Line (APL) card. However, soon after the death of her two
children, the district administration lost no time to issue her a BPL card. The
Weaver Card will enable her to avail the benefits of welfare schemes.
Questioning the
‘benevolence’ of the district administration, Shruti said, “If the family was
not under extreme poverty and malnutrition, why have they been given a BPL
card, Weaver Card and food grains? How can the district administration claim
that the two children died of the disease when the post mortem of the bodies
was not conducted?”
She maintained
that the Naazra family suffered from extreme poverty and malnutrition. Whatever
little Naazra earned as a saree weaver, went in purchasing foodgrains. The
family was dependent on doles from neighbours, but the financial condition of
neighbours was also not good.
उत्तर प्रदेश के बनारस में नजरा खातून के दो बच्चे भूख से मर गए। आखिर कब तक भूख से देश में मौत होती रहेगी... इसी पर बड़ी खबर में चर्चा... Thanks
Shruti for great intervention. Keep fight against hunger and malnutrition
While one member
of the family, Nazia Parveen had high fever at that time but they did not
consider it important to give medicine to get relief. When the regional officer was contacted on
phone by a member of PVCHR in this regard, he replied that while coming from
CMO’s office, he would deliver the medicines. After 2 pm in the afternoon, the
social activists of PVCHR took Nazia to a private hospital nearby for the
treatment where on the advice of the doctor, X-Ray and blood tests of Nazia
were done. Nazia had been complaining of high fever and cough. On the basis of
doctor’s prescription Nazia was given paracetamol, anti-biotic and energy
related medicines.
