On October 27, 2026, Bhiwandi witnessed a major fire at the Shatrunjay Dyeing Company located in Mith Pada. The blaze broke out on the third floor, resulting in panic among factory workers and nearby residents. The fire was fueled by a large stock of raw yarn that was being prepared for the dyeing process. Firefighters from the Bhiwandi Fire Brigade arrived promptly in two engines and worked tirelessly for nearly four hours to bring the flames under control.

Thick smoke and flames rising from the factory alerted people in the vicinity, prompting an immediate response from the fire services.
