At about 2 am on Thursday 12 November 2026, a night fire gutted 19 to 25 houses at Parsi-Parlo and killed a woman and her three minor children, with her husband missing. The town has no fire station and the tender at Koloriang, about 38 km away, reportedly did not arrive in time. Police suspect a kitchen fire, but the cause is not confirmed. We cover it in a case study.
On the night of 21 February 2024, a fire destroyed at least six shops in the main market of Koloriang town. Two fire tenders were sent but the fire spread fast, and three people had minor injuries. Officials said the cause was uncertain and believed it began from a spark in one of the structures.
In a notice of 1 July 2024, the Deputy Commissioner reported the Kurung river at dangerous levels, threatening low-lying parts of Koloriang town. NH-713 was blocked at several points from the Kra Daadi district boundary to Koloriang, the Kurung bridge had collapsed, and power and network were failing.
The district disaster management page, last updated in July 2025, names flood, landslide and cyclone as yearly natural hazards and says Arunachal Pradesh lies in earthquake zone V, the highest risk zone. Steep slopes, wooden houses and long road links make every one of these harder to respond to.
