Depredations of COVID-19 have snatched away several precious lives from us in the recent days, especially during 2021 Ramazan.
The second wave of Corona virus infection has taken a heavy toll of lives across the nation. Common men and women are falling victim to it by dozens in every town and city, but it has been unsparing in its assault and has ruined lives regardless of class and caste. It has been startling to find deaths caused in families which had access to the elite hospitals and state-of-the-art medical facilities. In certain cities, the spaces for obituary advertisements in newspapers have outstripped the space devoted to commercial ones.
