In early October 2024, the rising Kulik and Nagar rivers flooded several villages around Raiganj, including Vitihar, Nayatuli, Maharajpur and Goaldaha. Roads between villages went under, boats became the only transport, and the block office said people could be evacuated if the levels kept rising.
The same October 2024 flood raised concern over erosion at Dupduar, and a graveyard at Anantapur was affected. Water that rises quickly can undercut a bank in hours, so do not stand near a soft edge to watch it.
On a Sunday in November 2023, a short circuit from an electric pole allegedly set a shop on fire in the green crackers market in front of Raiganj Stadium. The fire brigade and electricity workers brought it under control and no one was hurt, but panic spread in the market.
On a Wednesday in April 2025, a kitchen fire at Khagar under Goalpokhar police station in this district destroyed over fifteen huts of ten families and took nearly five hours to put out. The local MLA said narrow roads made it hard for the fire brigade to reach the spot.
