On the night of 18 October 2026, fire broke out at a guar gum factory in Phase IV of the Pali industrial area with 17 workers on shift; two died and three were critically burnt. Reports said the entrance was narrow and the smoke thick, so firefighters had a wall broken open with a JCB.
In 2014, a farmers' group counted more than 600 dyeing units around Pali, and textile units employ over a quarter of the roughly 30,000 people working in its main industrial areas. Around Diwali 2024, a boiler fire at a factory on Mandia Road and a wooden godown fire near a Mandia Road hotel were put out by fire engines.
For the October 2026 guar gum fire, fire tenders came from Sojat, Rani, Falna and Sumerpur as well as Pali, and eight tenders made about 55 trips. An older central MSME profile records industry asking for a fire brigade centre at Mandia Road; we could not confirm whether it has opened.
About a dozen fires broke out in Pali over the two Diwali days of 2024, including a tent-house warehouse that burned for around two hours with four fire engines at work. The Municipal Corporation and RIICO fire crews answered the calls.
A Centre for Science and Environment study found Pali's effluent treatment plants could not treat textile waste to the prescribed level, and groundwater 50 km down the Bandi basin carried lead, arsenic, chromium and nickel. The Union environment ministry declared the area critically polluted in 2009.
