Surging coronavirus infections are showing cracks in India's healthcare system.

It's also heightened anxiety for the city's residents, especially with 1,000 new cases being reported each day.

Mortuary and crematoriums say they can't keep up with the backlog of victims.

Some claim that hospitals ask for exorbitant fees for COVID-19 patients. Reports say some are charging more than $5,000 per bed for coronavirus victims.

People are now questioning the government's decision to ease the lockdown.
