Local risks in Kanker

Head-on crashes on National Highway 30

In April 2026 two cars collided head-on on National Highway 30 near Nathiya Navagaon in the Kanker police area, and six people died. Three more were seriously hurt and admitted to the Kanker medical college.

Car fire on a small bridge near Kulgaon

In the early hours of 19 July 2025 a car travelling from Keshkal to Kanker hit the concrete barrier of a small bridge near Kulgaon and caught fire. Four young men died on the spot and two others were injured.

Mud walls in days of heavy rain

On 15 August 2022, after two days of incessant rain, the wall of a mud house fell on a sleeping family in Irpanar village of the Pakhanjore area, and five of them died. An overflowing drain had cut the area off from the main road, so officials had to reach the village by boat.

Fallen live wires after a storm

In October 2024 a storm in the Narharpur forest area brought down a live electric wire in a field, and a mother bear and her two cubs were electrocuted. Reports said water in the field had spread the current across the ground.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone. Teach children and elders how to use them.
On National Highway 30, never overtake on a bend or at night, keep a safe gap, and do not drive when you are tired or have been drinking.
If a vehicle catches fire, get everyone out first and move well away from the road before you call 101 or 112. Do not go back for bags or phones.

In days of heavy rain, move out of a mud or old wall house that is cracking or leaning, and keep children from sleeping against an outer wall.
After a storm, treat every fallen wire as live, even in a wet field. Stay back, keep animals and children away and call the electricity office.
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.
