Over 4,500 fatalities do not find mention in the State government’s records
Over 4,500 people, who lost their lives in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, have slipped through the cracks of Delhi government death records over the last 24 days. An dovetailing of funerals with government death toll statistics between April 18 and May 11 throws up a cumulative discrepancy of 4,783; the figures varied every day with the difference between them as high as 336 at its peak and 32 at its lowest. According to municipal records, 12,833 COVID patients were laid to rest during the 24-day period with 534 funerals a day or 22 every 60 minutes being recorded. The Delhi government however, registered 8,050 COVID deaths during the same interval, conceding a daily average of 335 COVID deaths or 13 per hour.
