“If only we had proper #healthcare facilities around here, my father would still have been with us,” said Puneet Vatsa, 27.

Puneet lives in #Katewara, a village of about 3,500 people on the northern edge of Delhi. When the second wave of the pandemic hit the capital last month, it crashed over its outlying villages as well.

There are 108 villages in the state of Delhi, mostly located along its periphery, which are home to over four lakh people in total. Most of these villages lack adequate healthcare facilities, making it difficult for people affected with #Covid to get proper care.
