India set another global record in daily COVID-19 tally on Thursday, with 3,79,257 new cases and 3,645 deaths recorded in the last 24 hours, according to the health ministry’s 8 am data. Experts believe both figures are an undercount, but it’s unclear by how much. 

Several states continue to tackle the shortage of drugs, oxygen and even space for cremations. In Delhi, all 26 crematoriums are inundated with bodies and have added helping hands and are also making makeshift pyres. Still, the scenario stays grim, with families of deceased awaiting their turn to cremate.
