In the last 10 days, from April 18 to April 27, as many as 3,049 died of Covid. And an almost equal number, 3909, died suspected to have had Covid.

The harrowing images playing out from cities and towns across the country show mourners lined up outside crematoriums, rows of funeral pyres burning with hardly a break, last-rites arrangements being hurriedly scrambled for the rising number of dead.

In the capital, currently the Ground Zero of the fierce second wave, these images frame a growing gap between the number laid to rest and that put on paper as the official Covid death toll, records accessed by The Indian Express show.

Data from the capital’s 23 key crematoriums and cemeteries maintained by Delhi’s three civic bodies based on death certificates and hospital reports explain the unprecedented scale of the unfolding tragedy that goes beyond the daily Covid dashboard. The number of funerals at Muslim burial grounds as per Covid protocol is awaited.
