Madhya Pradesh Covid Deaths

Kamlesh Patidar was admitted to a hospital and later doctors declared him dead. After the hospital handed over the "body" to them, the family members performed his last rites, his cousin Mukesh Patidar told reporters.

Kalu Rai, 55, sold tea on a cart at an intersection in Madhya Pradesh's Jaisinagar. Last night, he was found hanging from a tree at the same spot where he brewed tea daily.

A 54-year-old woman, who had received both doses of a Covid vaccine, died of coronavirus in Bhopal, taking the number of fully vaccinated persons succumbing to the infection to two in Madhya Pradesh within a week, officials said.

Madhya Pradesh saw no deaths due to oxygen shortage during the second wave of the pandemic and the Centre's statement made in Rajya Sabha that there were no such fatalities is a fact, state Minister for Medical Education Vishvas Kailash Sarang said.

Amid warnings over a third wave, India saw a big jump in daily Covid deaths as Madhya Pradesh revised its official data and logged 1,478 deaths, taking India's count to 2,020. But the country's daily rise in fresh cases is the lowest in four months.

A park is being developed at a crematorium in Bhopal using the ashes of those who died after contracting the coronavirus infection during the second wave of the pandemic this year.

Indicating a massive undercounting in COVID-19 deaths in Madhya Pradesh, the number of reported deaths in the state during the second wave was over three times more than the average number of deaths reported during these months in pre-Covid times.

The Madhya Pradesh government has announced several relief measures for the families of Covid victims. But discrepancies have been reported in many of their death certificates, making them lose the eligibility to seek such aid.

Four COVID-19 patients have died at the District Hospital in Barwani, Madhya Pradesh, relatives of the alleged victims claim. District authorities, while admitting a glitch in the oxygen flow on Saturday night, said only one had died.

The increasing number of Covid-related deaths is putting intense pressure on crematoriums in several parts of the country.

More than a year after India's fight against COVID-19 began, the virus is spreading faster than ever before and appalling stories of distress are being reported from across the country.

Bodies are piling up at crematoriums and burial grounds in Madhya Pradesh, reflecting a steep rise in Covid cases, but there seems to be an unexplained gap between the official daily death count released by the state government and the ground reality
