As many as 18,000 people in the age group of 18–45 have died due to heart attacks or heart seizures in Haryana since 2020, a report tabled in the Legislative Assembly revealed on Wednesday.
The data was shared in a written reply to a question raised by a Congress MLA, who sought year-wise and district-wise details of deaths in the 18–45 age group due to heart attack/heart failure from 2020 to date.
The MLA also asked whether the state government had conducted any study or survey to ascertain if these deaths had any correlation with COVID-19 infections or vaccines, and if so, to make the findings public and detail actions taken.
The government confirmed that no such study or survey was conducted.
However, based on information compiled from districts, the year-wise deaths were 2,394 in 2020, 3,188 in 2021, 2,796 in 2022, 2,886 in 2023, 3,063 in 2024, 3,255 in 2025, and 391 in January 2026 — totaling 17,973. District-wise examples included:
Yamunanagar: 387 (2020), 461 (2021), 375 (2022), 378 (2023), 410 (2024), 389 (2025)
Rohtak: 33 (2020), 41 (2021), 40 (2022), 27 (2023), 30 (2024)
Gurugram: 113 (2020), 105 (2021), 116 (2022), 114 (2023), 93 (2024), 83 (2025)
The figures have sparked renewed debate over rising cardiac deaths among young adults in Haryana, with calls for detailed epidemiological studies and preventive measures.
