The directive directive came on a public suit.
The high court also asked the state government to initiate more proactive swine flu awareness programmes so that people are aware of the reasons that contribute to the spread of swine flu.

Ten people have so far succumbed to the flu.
The court has asked for these masks and medicines to be provided to the health department for further distribution. Principal Secretary (Health), District Magistrate of Lucknow and chief medical officer were also present in the court.
