Over 3k deaths due to natural disasters: MHA

Hindustan Times Ranchi

June 07, 2025

The number of people that died on account of natural disasters (including extreme weather events) was 3080 in 2024-25, the highest since 2013-14, according to a provisional estimate of the number from the Disaster Management (DM) division of the home affairs ministry, although the number is likely to be a significant underestimate, if past trend data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) is any indication.

NEW DELHI:

The 3080 number was published by the National Statistics Office (NSO) on June 5 in its annual compilation of environment-related statistics in the EnviStats report. This number is 18% more than the provisional number for 2023-24; and the highest since 2013-14, when it was 5,677. In fact, the 2024-25 figure is the fourth highest figure since 2001-02, the earliest year for which the EnviStats report gives data.
