In a desperate bid to infuse life into their mother, who was lying on a stretcher at a government hospital in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich district, her two daughters purportedly gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

The scenes went viral on social media on Saturday and people could be heard in a video complaining about shortage of oxygen and lack of staff. In the method of artificial respiration, a person breathes into an unconscious patient's lungs through their mouth to revive her.
