A children s hospital in Delhi sent out a desperate appeal for help on Twitter this morning and said it was running out of medical oxygen, a day after the national capital witnessed a tragedy when 12 people, including a doctor, died due to oxygen shortage at Batra Hospital.

Bhopal COVID-19 deaths: Govt says 104, crematoriums say 2,557
Crematoriums in Bhopal claim that the last rites of as many as 2557 coronavirus victims from Bhopal district were performed in April, sharply contradicting the BJP-led state government s data which puts the COVID-19 deaths in the district last month at 104. The mammoth mismatch has given credence to claims of massive under-reporting of COVID-19 fatalities in the city.
