Photos: On day seven of lockdown, the Nizamuddin case and other updates

In these trying times, when the whole world is faced with an unprecedented public health crisis, a large-scale documentation of a country as large and diverse as India requires an incredible effort on the part of the media. Photographers, reporters, editors and newsroom desk staff are working round the clock to bring readers the truth and just life—in the times of COVID-19, a term this world will remember forever. From empty landmarks in India's biggest cities, to the plight of migrant workers walking endlessly on national highways to make their way back home, these are some of the most iconic images to emerge out of this public health crisis.
