.. No money has been received from the state government despite repeated requests. The amount asked for was Rs.10 lakh (Rs.one million),' Tamba said.

However, Rane has now accused Tamba of not coordinating with the directorate of health services, even to the extent of not providing details of the existing stock of tamiflu tablets to the department.

'He even refused to coordinate with the director of health services, Dr Rajnanda Desai,' the minister said, adding that Tamba's outburst had not been in the interest of the state.

Rane also said the state government had already released Rs.3 lakh (Rs.300,000) for the swine flu programme.
