India has seen a massive surge of 1,68,912 new Covid cases in the last 24 hours taking the total tally to over 1.35 crore. This makes India the second worst-hit country in the world.
While the cases continue to rise, election rallies are being held in poll-bound states and religious gatherings are taking place. Several states like Delhi and Maharashtra are also reporting shortage of COVID beds in hospitals.
