NEW DELHI - Some hospitals in the Indian capital of New Delhi have run out of oxygen, putting lives at risk, the city's deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said on Thursday, as the city was in the grip of surging coronavirus infections.

"After some time, saving lives would be difficult," Sisodia said in a televised address.
