Indian city imposes swine flu restrictions
The Indian city of Ahmedabad is restricting public gatherings to contain a swine flu outbreak, the BBC reports.
Officials in the Gujarat city said 231 people had died of the flu in the state since January, with more than 3,500 cases detected so far.
On Monday, Gujarat's junior health minister and the assembly speaker were diagnosed with the virus.
India's swine flu outbreak has killed 875 people nationwide since it took hold in mid-December.
The number of cases has crossed 15,000 in what is the deadliest outbreak of the H1N1 virus since 2010.
Federal Health Minister JP Nadda told parliament on Tuesday that swine flu was becoming a "matter of great concern" although there had been "no mutation of the virus."
