With 71 bodies alegedly thrown into the Ganga from UP and washed ashore in Bihar, and as I write many bodies being discovered buried in the sand, no one knows the exact figures of the dead and if from Covid! The priority of government was winning elections and safety of people came last! People are dying due to this attitude of neglecting healthcare resulting in shortage of oxygen, ventilators, ambulances. Government says no shortage, but excuses of technician/doctors, transport, equipment shortages, etc… ie mal administration! The High Court in Goa has bluntly told the government that they are in violation of Art 21 of the Constitution and people dying in GMC for lack of oxygen is unacceptable! Projection of number of cylinders required given by the under secretary differs from that given by the Dean. Most foreign nations are vaccinating free and it is shameful that our government has plenty of funds for elections and vanity projects and buildings, but none to save lives of its citizens which should be first priority.
