That news was likely the mass cremations of people who died of COVID. Uttar Pradesh had one of the highest mortality rates in the country in the wake of the pandemic. A lot of them were low-income folk who died on the way to (or right outside) public hospitals that refused to accept them due to overcrowding, lack of equipment and supplemental oxygen, and gross mismanagement
The economic strata that is the majority of the population, is also the majority in hospitalization? Is there a useful point there?
refused to accept them due to over-crowding
Oxymoron right there.
And, if this was the scene in a Western nation, you would have used the correct word: “full”, instead of the motivated “overcrowding”.
How much more crass can you be at this? People close to me watched people die in queues outside hospitals, as they too waited with their F&F. Hospitals weren’t “overcrowded”, hospitals and staff were overwhelmed.
I’d like to know how you’d have done better. You can’t conjure up oxygen or great management in the disaster that it was.
I remember reading some COVID-related news from there, though that wasn’t on the fediverse because I wasn’t on the fediverse yet at the time.

This is classic third-worldliness porn.
