Local risks in Budaun

Village fires in a storm

On the night of 21 May 2025, a spark from a transformer is reported to have started a fire in Tappa Jamni village, Ujhani area, and the storm wind carried it from house to house. About 200 houses were burnt down before firefighters and police arrived, one man was burnt while running, and many cattle died, as we cover in a case study. Nobody was killed, the District Magistrate said.

Oil and chemical factory fires

In the same May 2025 storm, strong wind brought down part of an oil factory in Budaun and sparks lit the oil. Firefighters fought it overnight, and because mentha oil and chemicals were involved, water did not work and foam had to be used. A blast from hydrogen cylinders followed, and no one died.

Hospitals running without registration

On the night of 21 October 2025, a fire broke out at a private hospital on Bilsi Road, with Diwali diyas named as the likely cause. Staff carried an oxygen cylinder and an LPG cylinder out of the building, and no patients were inside at the time. The health department said the hospital was not registered and ordered an inquiry.

Ganga floods in the villages

In August 2025, the Ganga stayed above the danger mark for four days and floodwater entered 17 villages in the Dataganj and Sahaswan areas. Farms were damaged, families camped on roadsides, and some were moved to school shelters. No deaths were reported.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101 and 108 in your phone today and tell elderly relatives and children old enough to use a phone.
In a storm, switch off the main supply and keep away from poles, transformers and fallen wires. If a wire sparks near your house, call the power office and 112 and keep everyone back.
In a village, keep fodder, firewood and cow-dung cakes away from houses and wiring, and keep a drum or tank of water filled. Agree on an exit lane and a meeting point with your neighbours.
If a fire starts at night, wake everyone first, take the children and elders out, and untie the cattle if you can do it safely. Do not go back inside for belongings.

Before admitting a relative to a private hospital, ask to see its registration and fire exits. During Diwali, keep diyas away from curtains, cloth and cylinders.
When the Ganga rises, move to higher ground early with documents, medicines and a torch, and do not walk or drive through floodwater.
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.
