After Recent Surge, Dengue Cases Show Steady Decline
Kashmir Observer
|November 19,2025 Issue
After weeks of rising dengue infections across Jammu and Kashmir, health authorities have reported the first signs of decline. However, with 3,248 confirmed cases recorded so far, officials have cautioned that the situation still demands strict preventive efforts from the public.
According to official data accessed, the Jammu division remains at the forefront of the outbreak, reporting 1,384 cases, followed by Kathua with 862, Samba with 459, and Udhampur with 172. Smaller but notable numbers have emerged from Reasi (70), Rajouri (69), Poonch (28), Doda (74), Ramban (43) and Kishtwar (15).
In Kashmir, 31 cases have been confirmed, while 41 infections were detected in individuals from outside the UT.
Health officials told KNO that 26,980 dengue tests have been conducted across Jammu and Kashmir to date. “Only 49 patients required hospital admission, and 46 have been discharged, which is a positive sign,” an official said, adding that one J&K resident died at DMC Ludhiana due to complications linked to the infection.
