Dozens of Covid-19 patients dying on the streets gasping for oxygen. Hundreds of wailing, desperate folks searching for hospital beds to access treatment. Continuous, thick plumes of smoke from funeral pyres filling the city air.

The situation is equally bad in other parts of northern India, with harrowing tales of entire blocks of ICU patients dying off as oxygen supplies abruptly shut off.
