Local risks in Beed

Pothole crashes on the national highways

On the morning of 18 October 2026, a car carrying a family from Majalgaon to Tuljapur swerved to avoid potholes on a bridge of the Khamgaon-Pandharpur highway and hit an oncoming state bus. Five people in the car died, including an 11-year-old boy, and a case was reported against the road contractor, as we cover in a case study.

Bensura river floods

The Bensura river runs through the old city, and in heavy rain it rises in violent floods. The last major one, on 23 July 1989, flooded three habitations and caused deaths and heavy loss of property.

Earthquake zone

Beed sits in Seismic Zone III of the national hazard map, up from Zone I before the map was revised in 2000. Old stone and mud-brick houses and unreinforced upper floors are the weak points.

Long, hot, dry summers

Summer lasts almost five months here and May is the hottest, with day temperatures averaging about 42 C. Heat and water scarcity are old problems in the district, which saw a great famine in 1900.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone today, and the district control room 1077 (landline 02442-299299). Share them with older relatives and with drivers in the family.
On the national highways, slow down early before a broken stretch or a bridge joint and brake before the bad patch, instead of swerving into the oncoming lane at the last moment. Do not drive tired on the long festival routes to Tuljapur and Pandharpur.
If you reach a crash first, park off the carriageway with hazard lights on, call 112 from a safe spot, and give the highway, the direction of travel and a landmark. Do not move a badly hurt person unless there is fire or another immediate danger.

When it rains hard, keep away from the Bensura banks and low lanes in the old city, and do not cross a flooded causeway on foot or by vehicle. Move vehicles and papers to higher ground early.
In the long summer, drink water often, avoid hard work between noon and 4 pm, and shift anyone with high fever, confusion or no sweating to a hospital at once.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
