West Bengal: IMCT writes to Bengal Chief Secretary on final observation before leaving from Kolkata. The letter mentions that the state took antagonist view of the IMCT and has not supported the IMCT in the performance of its duties. This contrasts with the experience of IMCTs deputed to other states at the same time where the daily schedule of visits by IMCTs were prepared & meetings were held by the IMCTs from the highest levels of the state government to the field level functionaries. In its report, it further informed that the mortality rate - 12.8% is by far the highest in the country. This high mortality rate is a result of low testing and weak monitoring & surveillance. There are discrepancies in numbers. The later read, ''While state govt claims high level of daily surveillance in containment zones, no database was shown or results made available.''
