55:30Now PlayingOn the Urban Debate with Tanvi Shukla, INVESTIGATION -- MIRROR NOW has accessed EXCLUSIVE documents which reveals massive discrepancies in death toll numbers reported by the Delhi govt and civic body, MCD.
There are 3 arms that contribute to data. Pvt-Govt. hospitals, civic body & a centralised agency, under the State govt. Lack of cohesion between the three is too stark. Says Vinay Tewari Mirror Now's Managing Editor.
Till now, we've around 2,600 death certificates available. We've been saying that the death rate in Delhi is very high, but no one was ready to accept this. Says Bhupender Gupta SDMC South Delhi Municipal Corporation.
If they went in for opening up of the economy, they should've been ready for better medical & hospital facilities. Both Govts have let us down, they had 2.5 months. Says Neerja Chowdhury Sr. Journalist.
Why don’t we have a clear answer on this, the discrepancy is huge, double the deaths that are being reported by the government? Tanvi Shukla questions to Aam Aadmi Party's Saurabh Bharadwaj.
On May 16, Delhi health secretary wrote a letter to all 3 municipal corporations to verify the data regarding total deaths. In our responses on 17, it was clear that there's a difference in State & MCD nos. but Delhi govt still didn't wake up. Says Jai Prakash North MCD.
