Government data shows steady yearly rise in heart-related deaths among young adults across Haryana, with some districts reporting far higher numbers than others.
Nearly 18,000 people aged 18–45 died of heart attacks or heart failure in Haryana between 2020 and January 2026, as per data shared in the Assembly.
Around 18,000 people aged between 18 and 45 have died of heart attacks or heart failure in Haryana over the past six years, the state Assembly was informed on Wednesday.
The figures, shared by the government in a written response, came after a Congress MLA asked for detailed data on such deaths since 2020, along with any possible links to Covid-19 infection or vaccination. The government clarified that no study or survey has been carried out to examine any such connection.
