Swine flu has claimed 51 more lives raising the death toll to 926 and the number of people affected by the disease crossed the 16,000 mark even as the Government said today there is no need to panic.

The concern over the spiralling swine flu cases was also reflected with High Courts acting on Public Interest Litigations on the threat posed by the disease.

Delhi High Court sought the Centre and city government's response within a week on the steps it has taken to deal with swine flu while the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court directed Chief Secretary and Principal Secretary, Medical (Health) of Uttar Pradesh to make medicines and special masks available within two to three days.
