Local risks in Sangrur

Roadside crash near Lehragaga

On the afternoon of 18 October 2026, a speeding car ran into a crew of rural-job-scheme workers resting by the Lehragaga-Jakhal road near Alisher village. Eight people died, about 12 were hurt, and the driver was booked and reported arrested; the families ended their protest on 21 October after the administration promised Rs 10 lakh to each family. We cover it in a case study.

Road crashes across the district

Sangrur district, then including Malerkotla, recorded 340 road accidents and 229 deaths in 2022, 361 and 257 in 2021, and 393 and 240 in 2019. Straight, fast roads through villages leave little room for a mistake.

Farm fires in the stubble season

Between 21 September and 30 October 2024, satellite records showed 259 farm-fire cases in the district and the police registered 173 FIRs, 72 of them in Moonak and 43 in Bhawanigarh. Police said the count included some field fires other than stubble burning, and they helped the fire department put out the blazes.

Ghaggar floods

On 9 July 2023, the Ghaggar was flowing at 12.5 feet against a 10-foot danger mark near Mohali, and the irrigation chief engineer said the water would move downstream towards Patiala and Sangrur. A heavy-rain warning was out for Sangrur and many low-lying areas in the state's cities were already waterlogged.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 100 and 108 in your phone today. The Fire Officer's office line is 01672-234333, but for a fire call 101 or 112 first because we could not find a fire control room number.
On village roads, slow down near work crews, schools and crossings, and never sit or stand on the carriageway. Organisers of roadside work should place cones and a flagger well before the crew and give breaks away from the road edge.
If you come on a crash, stop well ahead, switch on hazard lights and call 112 or 1073 with the road name and the nearest village. Do not move an injured person unless there is fire or leaking fuel.

Do not burn paddy straw or field residue. A fire in a field can reach a house, a haystack or a road in minutes, and the smoke makes driving on the highway dangerous. Call 101 or 112 if a field fire is spreading.
When the Ghaggar or a drain is above the danger mark, keep children and cattle away from banks, move papers and valuables early and follow the district administration's notices. Never drive through moving water.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
