Local risks in Udhampur

Fire in Chabutra Bazar

On the night of 20 May 2026 a fire started on the third floor of a hardware store in Chabutra Bazar. More than eight fire tenders, with firefighting teams from the Army, were sent to the spot.

Night fire and a far fire station in the district

In early November 2026 two shops and a three storey house, built mostly of dry wood, burned at Latti town in Udhampur district. Residents said a fire station opened there two years earlier had been withdrawn, and the nearest fire tender came from Chenani and reached the shops only around 5 am, after the fire began near 2.25 am.

Highway landslides in heavy rain

In the last week of August 2025 Udhampur recorded 630 mm of rain in 24 hours, the highest on record there, and landslides between Jakheni and Chenani shut the Jammu Srinagar highway for three days. On 27 July 2026 a landslide at Dewal stopped traffic both ways, with about 1,700 trucks stranded between Udhampur and Banihal.

Diwali night fires

Udhampur district recorded eight fire incidents on Diwali night, 8 November 2026, among 64 across the Jammu region. Fire officials said their crews were stretched by many calls at the same time, which is why even a small fire should be called in at once.
