What's happening in India?

an ongoing thread with daily updates with verified facts, transparency, and a call for action to help our disintegrating nation. please share this, please make yourself aware of EVERYTHING happening and the degree of just how bad it actually is.
India's current problem is continually worsening due to lack of proper governance and accountability from the state, as well as how fast the new Indian strain is mutating.
With new mutations and symptoms rising and no responsibility, people are panicking even more.
States are not reporting correct numbers for positive cases and the daily death toll, the underreporting is just one of the ways people in power are trying to suppress the gravity of the situation
We have multiple mass cremations in various cities DAILY. There are TOO MANY deaths
Just yesterday we received reports of how countless covid positive patients who died were "dumped into a river", the amount of insensitivity and lack of caution that goes into carrying out something so inhuman.. i have no words. (not including photos since they're too triggering)
You all have to understand that majority of the management right now is done by volunteer initiatives, be it established organizations or youth collectives working tirelessly to ensure we don't lose more lives and coordinate resources efficiently.
Meanwhile, we have people like Y0gi who are putting people in jail for sending out calls for help. He's the head of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India which is also one of the worst-hit states at the moment.
"Oxygen is just a temporary problem" he says.
While vital resources like oxygen is not being supplied due to our incompetent state authorities, H1ndus have been brainwashed into relying on "religious remedies", such as consuming cow urine and bathing in cow dung (yes, this is very much a real thing).
Our country is grappling for resources like oxygen. There are networks of people working on verifying leads tirelessly everyday, young people have quit their jobs to make up for the incompetent governance and help rebuild our communities. Please PLEASE keep talking about India.
While our country is administering vaccinations, these are not accessible by those who can't afford them. So many people have lost their jobs, NGOs are having to do ration runs for rural communities, and they're selling vaccines at ridiculously high rates.
Delhi Government (another one of the worst hit states) recently put a call out for funding to provide hospitals with ventilators. Delhi is facing a shortage of resources as well as frontline workers.

While people are dying due to lack of oxygen and essential resources, our government is currently concentrating on a project called the 'Central Vista' which costs ā‚¹20,000 crore (US$2.8 billion) and is essentially a needless project of infrastructure and reconstruction.
This project itself is utilizing a lot of oxygen, is putting people through so much unnecessary labour in the middle of a health emergency where we're losing life everyday but the government is more concerned with remaking the Prime Minister's home.
India's still struggling to efficiently deal with the new straint and it's rapid mutations. While we have resources pouring in from all the world, they're all disappearing? No accounts of where they went, they surely have not been used.
i apologize beforehand if this thread isn't very comprehensive. I'm rage typing all information I can think of but there's honestly just SO many things going wrong.
"The price of our complacency is being paid by the lives of our people."
"Indiaā€™s Covid wards are like scenes from Danteā€™s ā€˜Infernoā€™."
"Black market oxygen, rows of patients struggling to breatheā€” the pandemic has cruelly exposed systemic issues"

"Kumbh Mela attended by 3.5 million pilgrims as India"

With the ignorance and incompetence of our governance also comes the consequence of lack of protocol. This year, India celebrated the Kumbh Mela with over 2000 attendees testing positive just two days later and no's rising.
MORE growing concerns people are not paying enough attention to.
"Vaccinated healthcare workers are testing positive for COVID-19"
"In Oct 2020, the centre issued tenders for 150 oxygen plants. As of April 2021, only 33 have been set up."

it's extremely hard to capture the extent of all on-ground realities in India, I've merely brushed over some topics but there's so much more to each and every tweet I have written so please do your own research, look into everything I have posted about.
PLEASE DONATE FUNDS.
amidst this, in a lot of areas schools, colleges & offices remain physically open. while students arent under compulsion to attend, educators are made to travel. this has resulted in another surge of unnecessary deaths - the govt STILL denies
