PJK Undercounted Covid Death by 45%: RTI Info

Chandigarh: The actual death toll during the covid-19 second wave peak in April and may be much higher than being officially reported in the city.
The UT Health Department utilizes the fatality by 45% which is worrying at 299 victims – according to information obtained through RTI acting by TOI.
Officials recorded 98 deaths in April and 264 in May, far from the actual amount, according to the details of RTI, from 661 city residents in two months.
Everything is cremated in Chandigarh.
RTI data from three crematoriums in sector 25, industrial estates and Manimajra showed that 197 funerals took place in April and 400 in May.
23 other victims were cremated in LPGRUN’s crematorium in sector 25 in April and 41 in May.
However, Arun Kumar Gupta’s health secretary destroyed the numbers.
“There is no Covid death reporting in Chandigarh.
RTI’s questions and answers may be misleading.
Our daily media reports of the death of 811 Covid from the residents of Chandigarh are right.” However, Dr.
Amandeep Kang, Director of Health Services, said, “We have investigated why the number difference.
We collect data from the hospital and share it with the crematorium.
There may be a problem address because some people tend to give a local address while recognizing patients at the hospital.
“” The wrong address forgiveness doesn’t seem logical.
The Ministry of Health tracks every covid patient and monitors them; no There are questions about the wrong address, “appoint a PGI doctor.
The Municipal Corporation (MC) has been authorized to post its staff in the crematorium in accordance with the protocol.
“If the MC has data from the crematorium, they can share it with us for better coordination.
However, we will combine every change now to ensure transparency,” said Dr.
Kang.
But experts believe there is little room for the authorities in getting numbers correctly.
“We know the data will be wrong.
This is because there is a wrong registry registry system in this country.
Not mentioned the cause of death in the registry in addition to hospital,” said a PGI doctor.
Both Employees of Sanitation Sanitation MC and Red Cross Volunteers were involved in cremating victims of Covid-19.
Many of them do their work quietly and stopim.
“We did not tell our family members about our assignments.
Like other Covid soldiers, we also issued our services,” said one of the volunteers.
During the dark days, cremation reasons were very busy.
“We sometimes see more than 50 Pyres a day in our crematorium,” said a priest in the industrial area.
A number of victims from outside Chandigarh were also cremated in the city in two months.
It was the time when the second wave weakened had destroyed Delhi and other closest places, extraordinary hospitals.
As many as 404 covid victims from Punjab, Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir were cremated in Chandigarh in April.
In May, that number was 699.
