New Delhi, May 10, 2021:      India recorded 3,66,161 fresh COVID-19 cases in a day, which pushed the tally to 2,26,62,575, according to the Union health ministry data updated on Monday.

 

The death count climbed to 2,46,116 with 3,754 daily deaths, the data updated at 8 am showed.

Meanwhile, Union Minister Santosh Gangwar has written to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, flagging a series of concerns including shortage of oxygen and black marketing of ventilators and other medical equipment in his constituency Bareilly --- about 250 km from state capital Lucknow. His complaints come barely a fortnight after the Chief Minister denied any scarcity of oxygen in the state’s hospitals and promised strong action, including seizure of property, against people "spreading rumours".

There is a scarcity of oxygen in Bareilly, which he represents in parliament, Mr Gangwar said. Ventilators and other medical equipment are being sold in the black market. People in the Health department do not pick up phones, creating difficulty for Covid patients, he added.
