Media reports on ‘significant undercount’ of Covid-19 deaths ‘baseless, misleading’, says Centre
The central government on Friday refuted media reports alleging a “significant undercount” of COVID-19 deaths in the first two waves in India, saying that these are baseless, misleading and ill-informed.
“It is clarified that such media reports are fallacious and ill-informed. They are not based on facts and are mischievous in nature. India has a very robust system of birth and death reporting which is based on a Statute and is carried out regularly from the Gram Panchayat level to the District-level and State level. The whole exercise is carried out under the overall oversight of the Registrar General of India (RGI),” the ministry of health and family welfare said.
