Echoes of the Invisible Enemy

This book chronicles how Mumbai confronted the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on the author’s firsthand reporting as a senior journalist who covered the crisis from the ground up. Through in-depth interviews with Dr Bhansali, who played an instrumental role in managing the coronavirus response across the city, the narrative offers insight into the strategies and challenges behind Mumbai’s fight against COVID-19. Interwoven with this are heart-wrenching stories of Bollywood stars, politicians, bureaucrats, and, most importantly, ordinary citizens, capturing the remarkable resilience and fortitude with which people from all walks of life endured one of the city’s most difficult chapters.
