Local risks in Palghar

Chemical factory fire at Tarapur

On Sunday 29 December 2024 a major fire at a chemical factory in the Boisar-Tarapur MIDC spread to a neighbouring chemical unit, and strong winds reportedly destroyed a chemical unit and a textile unit. Workers got out quickly and no injury was reported; the fire reportedly began about 5.20 pm and the fire control room got a call about an hour later, so call 101 or 112 at once.

Warehouse fire at Mahim

At about 9 am on Thursday 22 January 2026 a fire broke out at a foam company's godown in Chintupada, Mahim, and two fire engines were sent. No casualty was reported. Godowns full of foam and packing stock burn fast, so keep aisles and exits clear.

Tremors in Dahanu and Talasari

Late on Friday 4 September 2020 tremors of magnitude 4.0 in Dahanu and 3.6 in Talasari struck the district, with no loss of life or damage reported, and low to moderate quakes have been felt there since November 2018.

Konkan rain and landslides

The state disaster authority lists floods, landslides, cyclones, earthquakes and lightning as Maharashtra hazards, and says the Western Ghats and Konkan are highly susceptible to landslides. Palghar is in the Konkan division, so heed the weather department's colour warnings in the monsoon.
