On 28 January 2026, a 250 kVA transformer in front of a bank in Dhanapur market caught fire, and flames spread toward nearby shops. Residents said it had been leaking oil for days despite complaints; police and power staff could not control it, and the fire brigade finally did.
In early August 2026, a local report found that 41 flood outposts set up in the district were not yet active, and some had no fodder, food or lights. Twelve villages in Dhanapur and Chahaniya blocks are marked highly sensitive, and Sakaldiha and Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Nagar tehsils together have more than 72 villages along the Ganga.
In July 2025, people in about twenty-five villages along the Ganga in the Chahaniya area, including Baluaa and Sonbarsa, faced the risk of bank cutting as the river fell by 60 cm from the previous afternoon, at about 3 cm an hour.
In August 2024, the Ganga rose about 2 metres in 24 hours in Chandauli district after steady rain, to 68.68 m against a warning level of 70.262 m and a danger mark of 71.262 m. Water reached the Tandakala ghat temple, and villagers worried about erosion in riverside villages.
