However, the surge in Kathua and Udhampur has drawn attention to the uneven spread of infections across districts.<br \/>\nWhile certain districts reported spikes, Jammu district continues to dominate the overall tally but with a substantial 60% fall in dengue cases this year. Up to October 8, 2025, Jammu recorded 674 cases, down from 1,689 cases during the same period in 2024.<br \/>\nWithin Jammu, municipal areas accounted for 498 cases, while non-municipal areas reported 176. The corresponding figures last year stood at 1,484 and 205 respectively, suggesting a sharp drop in urban dengue transmission.<br \/>\nAccording to the official figures, the cumulative dengue cases reported up to October 8, 2025, are as follows: Jammu (674), Kathua (452), Udhampur (168), Samba (112), Reasi (47), Rajouri (47), Poonch (15), Doda (19), Ramban (15), Kishtwar (3), Kashmir (17), and Other States\/UT (21).<br \/>\nA comparison with last year\u2019s data reveals that Kathua\u2019s cases have nearly doubled from 231 in 2024 to 437 in 2025, while Udhampur\u2019s count rose from 95 to 161 by October 7 \u2013 indicating that these two districts have become new dengue hotspots in the region.<br \/>\nOn October 8 alone, 91 new dengue cases were detected from 310 tests conducted, with 59 males and 32 females testing positive. Overall, 17,141 dengue tests have been conducted this year, nearly matching last year\u2019s 17,238 tests.<br \/>\nThe cumulative data also shows that 34 patients have been admitted since January, of whom 27 have been discharged. One dengue-related death has been reported this year, referred from Jammu to DMC Ludhiana.<br \/>\nThe first week of October 2025 witnessed 377 fresh cases across the Jammu region, with daily counts ranging from 10 to 89. Health authorities said continuous monitoring and vector-control measures are being implemented to curb the spread, particularly in Kathua and Udhampur where fresh infections are being reported steadily.<br \/>\nOfficials from the Directorate of Health Services have urged the public to stay alert, eliminate stagnant water sources, and adopt preventive practices such as using mosquito repellents and nets.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33485\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33485\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"Dengue cases rise in Kathua, Udhampur even as Jammu records overall decline\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-549x329.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-467x280.jpg 467w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-233x140.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-230x138.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-360x216.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue-100x60.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dengue.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dengue cases rise in Kathua, Udhampur even as Jammu records overall decline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMMU, Oct 9: Even as Jammu district has witnessed a sharp decline in dengue infections this year, Kathua and Udhampur districts have reported a worrying rise in cases, according to the latest data issued by the Directorate of Health Services, Jammu.
