On the morning of Sunday 1 March 2026, a blast and fire in the detonator packing unit of an explosives factory at Raulgaon, in Katol tehsil about 50 km from Nagpur, killed at least 18 workers and injured 24, and a case of culpable homicide was registered against 21 of its directors and shareholders. In December 2023 nine workers died in a blast in a booster unit of another explosives plant at Bazargaon, about 40 km from the city.
In the early hours of 7 August 2024 a fire in a perfume godown at Itwari market, where a family also lived, killed a 17-year-old girl and injured her parents and brother; eight fire tenders attended and a short circuit is suspected. On 9 April 2025 a godown holding firecrackers, glass and sanitary goods on Mehendibagh Road burned for more than six hours, with about 60 firefighters from nine stations and losses of around Rs 3 crore.
On 17 September 2020 a fire swept through five saw mills at Lakadganj and needed 13 fire tenders from nine stations; it was brought under control only around 9.30 pm, with losses above Rs 2 crore and the cause not known, as we cover in our saw mill safety guide. On 5 May 2026 teak wood and cutting machines were destroyed at two timber units in Chikhli Layout, Kalamna, and firefighters spent nearly four hours on it.
In the early hours of 23 September 2023, 90 mm of rain fell in about two hours, Ambazari lake overflowed and water rushed along the Nag river into Ambazari, Sitabuldi and Variety Square. About 400 people were moved to safety by the SDRF, NDRF, the Army and the fire service, and four deaths were reported.
Nagpur touched 45.7 degrees on 27 May 2026 and a red alert for heatwave followed the next day. In the 24 hours before that report at least 10 people were found dead in the open, near flyovers, a fruit market and the railway station, and heatstroke was suspected though the causes were not confirmed.
At about 1.30 am on 9 January 2021 a fire in the newborn care unit of the district hospital at Bhandara, about 60 km from Nagpur, killed all ten babies in one section while seven in the separate section survived, as we cover in a case study. It is a reminder that separate compartments, working alarms and tested equipment decide who gets out of a hospital ward.
