Local risks in Surendranagar

Main Bazar fire at Dhrangadhra

At about 6.30 am on 7 November 2023, a fire that started at a clothing shop in the Main Bazar of Dhrangadhra town spread to a perfume warehouse and a firecracker shop. Crews came from Surendranagar, Wadhwan, Chotila and Patdi, and from Viramgam and Sanand, with army firefighters as well, and it took about 11 hours because the lane was narrow. No injury was reported, and an electrical short circuit was named as the cause.

Truck hits pilgrims on the Limbdi Ahmedabad highway

On 15 November 2026, a speeding truck hit a group of more than 65 pilgrims walking towards Dwarka near Kanpara village on the Limbdi Ahmedabad highway. One pilgrim died at the spot, seven were badly hurt, and the driver fled with the truck. The truck hit them from behind, and the report points to the danger that speeding heavy vehicles pose to people walking on highways.

Car catches fire after a crash on the Lakhtar road

On Sunday, 17 August 2025, a car carrying a family collided with another vehicle on the Surendranagar Lakhtar highway and caught fire. Eight members of the family, from a 10 month old baby to a 60 year old, were burnt to death. The report did not give the cause of the crash.

Mini bus hits a dumper on the Sayla Limbdi highway

On Sunday, 23 February 2025, a mini bus carrying tourists back from a Saurashtra tour ran into the back of a dumper truck on the Sayla Limbdi highway. Five passengers died at the spot and several were hurt and taken to nearby government hospitals. The police opened an inquiry.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone, with the district disaster control room number 02752-283400.
If you walk on a highway as part of a pilgrim group, walk in a single file facing traffic on the far edge, wear reflective strips or a bright cloth, and carry a light at night. Keep an escort vehicle with hazard lights behind the group.
On the Surendranagar highways, keep a long gap behind trucks and dumpers, and never drive tired. A car or bus that hits the rear of a truck at speed can have no room to brake.

After a crash, get everyone out of the vehicle at once and away from the road. A car can catch fire within minutes, so call 108 and 112 from a safe distance.
In a crowded bazar with narrow lanes, shopkeepers should keep a fire extinguisher at the shop front, switch off the mains at night, and keep firecrackers and perfume stock out of a clothes shop.
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.
