Analysis of data from 68 of the state's 170 municipalities shows there were 16,892 'excess deaths' between March 2020 and April 2021. If extrapolated for the entire state, it would mean the actual COVID death toll in Gujarat is at least 2.81 lakh.

New Delhi: In Kailash Mukti Dham, one of the two crematoriums in Amreli town in Gujarat, four furnaces lie in different states of wreckage. The iron grille that holds bodies melted away in the fire from pyres that burned without a pause.

“Pyres were burning for 24 hours every day for a month,” said Maganbhai, a farmer who volunteers at the crematorium, winding back to the days when the second wave of COVID-19 in April and May 2021 devastated the town. Volunteers at the crematorium had to put up advertisements in local newspapers as their firewood supply ran out. Three members of the 20-odd team succumbed to the virus.
