Checked 9 November 2026. Numbers can change; re-check them before you rely on them.
At about 2.30 am on 9 November 2026, a tractor-trolley carrying about two dozen devotees home after the Deepdan festival overturned into a ditch on the Jhansi-Mirzapur highway near Ramnagar, in the Raipura police station area. Four people died, including a six-year-old, and about 12 were injured; reports differ on how many were serious, and the hitch between tractor and trolley is reported to have failed.
For the Diwali Amavasya fair, heavy vehicles were barred from the fair area from 6 to 10 November 2026 because a large number of devotees were expected. Narrow ghat lanes and parking areas fill quickly on such days, so leave early and keep children close.
On 29 August 2026 the Mandakini rose to a record 145.60 m at Chitrakoot, above the danger level of 141.5 m. About 400 shops near the ghat were flooded, vehicles were swept away and at least two people drowned.
On 19 August 2026 the Mandakini crossed the danger mark and pilgrims were stopped from entering the ghats. On the evening of 11 April 2026, a boat carrying devotees to the evening aarti overturned at the ghat and everyone was pulled out safely.
The district disaster plan says the district gets normal to low rain and was hit by drought in 2004-05, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2014-15 and 2015-16. Most farming is rain fed, so dry years bring water shortage and heat stress.
