NEW DELHI: India has recorded a sharp rise in seasonal influenza A (H1N1) cases this year even as deaths have dropped to a four-year low, according to data from the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). As of September 30, 2025, the country reported 3,320 cases and just 14 deaths — a striking contrast to previous years where fewer infections caused significantly higher mortality.In comparison, 2024 saw 2,041 cases and 347 deaths, 2023 recorded 8,125 cases and 129 deaths, and 2022 logged 1,320 cases and 410 deaths, NCDC’s influenza surveillance shows.Kerala reported the highest deaths in 2025 (8), followed by Maharashtra (3) and one each in Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.Amid rising case numbers, the Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda on Tuesday reviewed national preparedness for the winter influenza season. Officials from NCDC, IDSP and the Health Ministry informed him that surveillance systems show no unusual rise in influenza activity so far and that circulating strains remain the usual seasonal variants — H3N2, Influenza B (Victoria) and a small proportion of H1N1.Nadda directed all states and district hospitals to complete readiness checks within two weeks, asked central hospitals to ensure full preparedness, and instructed that advisories and regular mock drills be conducted as the January–March influenza peak approaches.Experts say the unusual trend of more cases but sharply fewer deaths reflects stronger population immunity, faster diagnosis and improved clinical management since COVID-19.“When the respiratory lining is inflamed due to poor air quality, viruses attach and multiply more easily. Falling temperatures and mucosal irritation are amplifying infection rates,” said Dr Ekta Gupta, Professor of Virology at ILBS, explaining that the post-monsoon rise is expected, but airway irritation increases vulnerability.She attributed the fall in deaths to better diagnostics and treatment readiness. “PCR testing is now widely available, clinicians are more confident in managing respiratory infections, and vaccination uptake among high-risk groups has improved — all of which prevent severe outcomes.”Dr Gupta said the influenza strain in circulation has not changed, and that repeated exposure over years has built population-level immunity, reducing severity.Dr Suranjit Chatterjee, senior consultant, internal medicine, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, said the mismatch between high case numbers and low mortality also reflects better awareness. “People are seeking help earlier, more labs are testing for influenza, and improved treatment facilities and vaccinations in vulnerable groups are preventing deaths,” he said.As winter approaches, public-health experts warn that timely diagnosis and vaccination remain critical, especially for the elderly, pregnant women and those with chronic illnesses.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

A Pakistani journalist appeared to stumble on a key factual detail while questioning US secretary of war Pete Hegseth at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Saturday, asking for Washington’s view on India’s alleged “Agni-6 ICBM test”, a missile test that India has not officially conducted.The question came amid a discussion on nuclear deterrence and long-range missile programmes in South Asia.Referring to recent US concerns over Pakistan’s potential intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) ambitions, the journalist asked Hegseth: “Recently Pakistan’s potential ICBM program was identified as a threat to US. I wanted your comment on India’s Agni-6 ICBM test with a range of ~12,000 km which could potentially place parts of US and Europe in its reach.”However, India has not announced or confirmed any test of the Agni-6 missile.Hegseth avoids taking the baitIn his response, Hegseth declined to single out either India or Pakistan as a threat to the United States.”India and Pakistan, two nuclear-capable countries. I think both sides there are going to see understandable threats coming from the other, maybe some of which we see differently, and countries are going to want to develop ICBM threats,” he said.”But we’re not pointing a finger, at least from our view right now, at either country and calling them a threat to us, and we’re grateful for, you know, in each of their lanes, the benefits they’ve given to peace around the world.”His remarks echoed comments he made earlier at the summit, where he said both countries would continue to view each other through the prism of security concerns.Confusion over India’s recent missile testThe question appears to stem from speculation surrounding a missile launch carried out by India earlier this month.Ahead of the test, there was widespread buzz that India was preparing to flight-test the Agni-6 after Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Chairman Samir V Kamat said the organisation was technically ready and awaiting government approval.India had also issued Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), fuelling speculation.For several hours after the launch, defence observers speculated that India may have finally tested the Agni-6, a missile often described as a future intercontinental-range system with a potential strike range exceeding 10,000 kilometres.However, the defence ministry later clarified that the test involved an advanced Agni missile equipped with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology rather than the Agni-6.What India actually testedThe ministry confirmed that the missile was successfully tested from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast and carried multiple payloads aimed at different targets spread across a large area in the Indian Ocean Region.The launch marked the second publicly known test of the MIRV-capable Agni-5 variant, also known as “Mission Divyastra”. MIRV technology enables a single ballistic missile to carry multiple warheads capable of striking different targets, significantly increasing its effectiveness.India’s officially declared Agni-5 range remains over 5,000 kilometres, placing large parts of Asia, including China, within reach. The government has not officially disclosed the existence, specifications or testing timeline of the Agni-6 missile.Pakistan’s focus on Indian missile capabilitiesThe question also comes against the backdrop of Pakistan’s rejection of US intelligence assessments that cited Islamabad’s missile programme among potential long-term threats to the United States.Reacting to the allegations, Pakistan’s foreign ministry argued that its missile programme was aimed solely at deterrence against India and claimed that “India’s development of missile capabilities exceeding 12,000 kilometres reflects a trajectory that extends beyond regional security considerations”.The ministry’s comments followed then-US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard’s identification of Pakistan as one of the countries posing the greatest nuclear threat to the United States, alongside Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea.She pointed out that these nations are actively developing new missile delivery systems capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional warheads, which could potentially target the US.While speculation about an Indian ICBM programme has persisted for years, New Delhi has not announced the testing of any missile with a declared range of around 12,000 kilometres.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
