Gorge crashes on the Kiratpur Sahib to Manali road

On the night of 27 October 2026 a vehicle carrying sound-system equipment back from a Kullu programme fell into a deep gorge near Dehni, close to Kiratpur Sahib, and four people died. Rescuers needed a crane and about two and a half hours to bring the vehicle up.

NDRF boats rescued people, the highway went under water near Anandpur Sahib bus stand and Solakhian toll plaza, and the district disaster page lists June to September as the flood season.

Crashes on the Ropar to Kiratpur Sahib road

On 7 August 2022 a tractor-trailer overturned near Bada Pind after its driver lost control, and 2 people died and 32 were hurt. A district profile lists 309 road accidents and 238 deaths in 2022.

Fire, forest fire and earthquake

The district disaster page calls the district highly prone to multiple hazards, with fire accidents at any time and forest fires in May to June and October to November. No fire station list could be found for the district, so keep extinguishers and a second exit in homes and shops.
