However, Trinamool Congress leader Sudip Bandhopadhyay alleged the available medical infrastructure at the hospital was inadequate.

'I'll meet the medical superintendent of the hospital and ask him about the problems he is facing while dealing with such cases. If necessary, I will also talk to the central health minister about the matter,' he said.

According to health department sources, Rishav Gopana of south Kolkata was admitted with swine flu infection Sunday evening at Beliaghata Hospital. Gopana had returned from the US last week.

Meanwhile, city medicine shopowners also claimed that the specialised N-95 masks, necessary to prevent swine flu infection, were not available in the market.

'These masks are not available in the market. Many buyers are asking for it but we could not meet their requirement as the product is not with the medical stores across the state,' city-based medicine shopowner Raju Khandelwal said.
