On Wednesday 11 November 2026, a fire at the electricity department's transformer repair workshop at Paschim Pali in Kishanganj town set off ten to 12 blasts over about two hours, with flames reported at about 50 feet. About 50 oil drums were stored there and a petrol pump stands about 100 metres away in a crowded area. No injuries were reported and the cause is not established. We cover it in a case study.
On 31 May 2025, villages such as Telibhitta, Bihartola and Bhurlibhittha in the Dighalbank and Tedhagachh blocks were reported submerged after rain in Nepal raised the Kanakayi, Budhi Kanakayi and Mechi rivers. Maize and vegetable crops were lost. Nepal declared its monsoon onset about 15 days early that year, so water can reach the plains before it rains locally.
On 6 October 2025, All India Radio reported that rising water in the Kosi and Mahananda rivers had caused floods in parts of Kishanganj, Araria and Katihar. Late-season floods can come after the rains seem to have ended, so river levels need watching into October.
On 22 July 2026, water levels in the Mahananda, Mechi, Kanakai and Ratua rivers rose in Kishanganj, with a risk of flooding and erosion. The Ramzan river overflowed into low-lying areas and the diversion road linking Majhia and Khagra went under water, cutting transport.
