On 21 April 2026 a series of explosions destroyed sheds at a fireworks unit at Mundathikode, where fireworks were being prepared for the Thrissur Pooram. Reports put the toll at 16 to 17 and the injured at about 40. A judicial commission reported on 3 November 2026 that about 7,000 kg of explosives were stored against a permitted 15 kg and that banned potassium chlorate was widely used. Read our case study for what is known.
Fireworks are a key part of the Thrissur Pooram, and this year's Pooram on 26 April went ahead with its rituals but without the usual fireworks display after the Mundathikode blast. At any large festival, keep well back from where fireworks are fired, agree a meeting point with your family in case you are separated, and move out of a crowd that starts to push.
On 29 August 2026 the District Collector ordered the Peechi dam shutters opened in stages, with the water level at 77.62 metres against a maximum of 79.25 metres. The release was expected to raise the Manali and Karuvannur rivers by up to 60 cm on average, and entering the rivers, bathing, washing clothes, photography and fishing were restricted.
On 4 January 2026, at about 6.30 am, a fire broke out in the two-wheeler parking area outside Thrissur railway station. No one was hurt. Reports differ on how many vehicles were gutted, from a few to most of about 400, and on whether a spark from an electric line or one of the vehicles started it.
On 6 July 2025 a fire started among discarded items in the parking garage of a building complex near Press Club Road, with a gas cylinder and vehicles nearby. Firefighters moved the cylinder and vehicles out, let the smoke out through the shutters and brought it under control within half an hour.
