"Fourteen deaths were reported today. Till date, there have been 2,890 cases in the state and as many as 40 people infected by the H1N1 virus are on ventilator," a public health official said.
Meanwhile, opposition Congress-NCP legislators today staged a protest outside Assembly flaying the state government for its "apathy" on the swine flu issue.
"There is no action, only inaction on tackling swine flu," read a banner held by one of the legislators.
