Summary

A major fire broke out at the Warehouse Nehru Market, one of Jammu's oldest commercial hubs, on the evening of November 9, 2026, during Diwali celebrations. The fire was seen spreading through shops and warehouses storing grocery and ration items, and reports say it gutted several shops and was brought under control in about one and a half hours. Traders and some officials alleged a delayed response by the Fire and Emergency Services, which rejected the claim. The cause is not yet determined, and an inquiry committee has been formed by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to examine the cause and any lapses. Leaders including Omar Abdullah, Jitendra Singh, Ghulam Nabi Azad and others have called for damage assessment and compensation for affected traders.
