&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The number of &amp;ldquo;excess deaths&amp;rdquo; registered by the Civil Registration System (CRS) in West Bengal ever since the COVID-19 pandemic hit (from April 2020 to May 2021), was an estimated 1,20,227, which is 11.1 times the official reported figure of 10,787 deaths for the same period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Five districts &amp;mdash; Darjeeling, Jhargram, Kalimpong, North 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur &amp;mdash; were not considered for this analysis as either the online registration data was incomplete for all years (Darjeeling and Kalimpong) or for some years, 2018 in particular (Jhargram, North 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The high multiple of excess deaths over the COVID-19 toll was a characteristic of both the first wave in 2020 and the more lethal second wave in 2021. The &amp;ldquo;excess deaths&amp;rdquo; figure for April to December 2020 of 64,520 was 9.4 times the COVID-19 toll (6,833) while the same for 2021 (55,207) was 14.1 times the COVID-19 toll (10,787). In April and May 2021 alone &amp;mdash; a period that coincided with elections in the State, there were 51,353 &amp;ldquo;excess deaths&amp;rdquo;, 14.4 times the official COVID-19 death toll of 5,212 in these districts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The number of &amp;ldquo;excess deaths&amp;rdquo; registered by the Civil Registration System (CRS) in West Bengal ever since the COVID-19 pandemic hit (from April 2020 to May 2021), was an estimated 1,20,227, which is 11.1 times the official reported figure of 10,787 deaths for the same period.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Five districts &amp;mdash; Darjeeling, Jhargram, Kalimpong, North 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur &amp;mdash; were not considered for this analysis as either the online registration data was incomplete for all years (Darjeeling and Kalimpong) or for some years, 2018 in particular (Jhargram, North 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The high multiple of excess deaths over the COVID-19 toll was a characteristic of both the first wave in 2020 and the more lethal second wave in 2021. The &amp;ldquo;excess deaths&amp;rdquo; figure for April to December 2020 of 64,520 was 9.4 times the COVID-19 toll (6,833) while the same for 2021 (55,207) was 14.1 times the COVID-19 toll (10,787). In April and May 2021 alone &amp;mdash; a period that coincided with elections in the State, there were 51,353 &amp;ldquo;excess deaths&amp;rdquo;, 14.4 times the official COVID-19 death toll of 5,212 in these districts.&lt;/p&gt;

Excess deaths in West Bengal 11 times official COVID-19 tally -Srinivasan Ramani

-The Hindu Difference seen in both first and second wave. The number of “excess deaths” registered by the Civil Registration System (CRS) in West Bengal ever since the COVID-19 pandemic hit (from April 2020 to May 2021), was an estimated 1,20,227, which is 11.1 times the official reported figure of 10,787 deaths for the same period. Five districts — Darjeeling, Jhargram, Kalimpong, North 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur — were not considered for this analysis as either the online registration data was incomplete for all years (Darjeeling and Kalimpong) or for some years, 2018 in particular (Jhargram, North 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur). The high multiple of excess deaths over the COVID-19 toll was a characteristic of both the first wave in 2020 and the more lethal second wave in 2021. The “excess deaths” figure for April to December 2020 of 64,520 was 9.4 times the COVID-19 toll (6,833) while the same for 2021 (55,207) was 14.1 times the COVID-19 toll (10,787). In April and May 2021 alone — a period that coincided with elections in the State, there were 51,353 “excess deaths”, 14.4 times the official COVID-19 death toll of 5,212 in these districts.
