Local risks in Wardha

Pulgaon ammunition depot fire, 2016

At about 1 am on Tuesday 31 May 2016 a fire broke out in a shed of the Central Ammunition Depot at Pulgaon in Wardha district, a depot of about 7,000 acres. Sixteen people died, 13 of them civilian firefighting staff, and 17 were hurt.

Blast during disposal at the same depot, 2018

At about 7.10 am on Tuesday 20 November 2018 a blast during the demolition of old explosives near the depot at Pulgaon killed six people, with ten injured. Contract workers were at the site, so stay away from any fenced defence or explosives area.

Red alert and floods, July 2025

On 9 July 2025 the weather centre in Nagpur issued a red alert of heavy to very heavy rain for Nagpur and Wardha districts. Rivers and streams overflowed, rescue teams were deployed and schools and colleges in Wardha district were shut for the day.

Growing industrial belt

Wardha is described as an upcoming industrial hub of Vidarbha, with steel and power plants and an MIDC area on the Wardha Sevagram road. Industrial units bring heavy trucks, hot work and stored chemicals close to homes, so keep exits clear at work and report blocked gates.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone, and the district toll-free line 18002332383 from this page.
Do not rely on one station number. If a call to 101 does not connect, call 112 and say clearly the area, landmark and what is burning.
In heavy rain, check the red alert and school and road notices before you travel. Do not drive or walk through a flooded road, culvert or causeway.

Keep well away from fenced defence areas, depots and explosive storage. If you hear a blast, move upwind and away and call 112.
At a factory or workshop, learn the assembly point, keep the exits and passages clear, and leave at once on a blast or heavy smoke.
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.
