As the day comes to an end, thinking about the three phenomenal women I met in Odisha, Punjab and Tamil Nadu while on the field. ASHA worker Matilda Kullu in Sundargarh, school teacher Usha Rani in Phillaur and police officer R. Brindha in Thanjavur

Govt should stop saying how much O2 is available but tell us how much has been supplied and to which hospital. As far back as October 2020, the Standing Committee of Parliament for Health had warned of the acute shortage in O2 cylinders in output & supply. Govt did not bother.

My uncle, who needs dialysis thrice a week, was denied the procedure after the hospital insisted he get a #Covid negative report, said my aunt. My uncle got a test done a few days ago, the result hasn't come yet, dialysis didn't happen, and now he's DEAD. He's no more. Gone.

There are many things wrong with #IPL2021 going unabated: cringe-inducing commerce, orchestrated optimism, the tone deafness. But, maybe, above all, it is the thundering silence of the superstars. @journoshantanu writes: firstpost.com/india/ipl-2021…
