The second wave of the Coronavirus has wrecked havoc in India. The country is reporting as many as 3.50 lakh cases of COVID-19 on a daily basis. The sudden surge in the positive cases has put an excessive load on the Indian health infrastructure and several states are facing shortage of oxygen supply. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high level meeting today on the problematic situation in the country.
