Coronavirus: After denying deaths related to oxygen shortage, Centre asks states for data

The Centre has asked the states and Union territories to share data on deaths due to the shortage of oxygen during the devastating second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India.

This comes days after the government faced severe criticism for denying that there were any deaths due to the scarcity of life-saving gas.
