Cemeteries in India are overwhelmed by bodies. Here's what it's like to work at one of the largest in Delhi.

India reported a record number of COVID-19 cases for the fifth straight day on Monday.
Gravediggers are burying 35 to 40 bodies every day at Delhi's largest Muslim cemetery, the caretaker told us.
The burial ground is running out of space, with only about 110 spaces left for COVID victims.
