Delhi government is struggling to tackle the ballooning Covid crisis in the national capital. There is chaos and confusion from testing and hospitalisation to cremations.

Experts behind retracted Lancet study must be probed, its editorial board should quit
The deeply embarrassing retraction of the HCQ study in Lancet shows partisan politics was allowed to permeate medical science during a pandemic.

Nor should the Centre feel diffident offering it. Bombay and Delhi should have been doing much better.
