It's heartbreaking to see tourists come to beautiful Kashmir and face such tragedy. Omar Abdullah's response was prompt and appropriate. I hope the local administration improves road maintenance and puts up better warning signs on dangerous stretches.

Such incidents make you realise how fragile life is. One moment you're enjoying a family trip, the next everything changes. 🙏 Condolences to the bereaved families. Also appreciate the DC visiting personally - shows some officials do care. But preventive measures are equally important.

Very tragic news. My thoughts are with the victims from Gujarat. Hope the injured recover fully and get the best medical care. But honestly, the number of road accidents in tourist spots is alarming. Governments need to invest more in road infrastructure and driver training.

Nepal and Uttarakhand also see such accidents frequently. While condolences matter, we need to demand safer roads in J&K. Many stretches near Pahalgam are narrow with sharp turns. CM should prioritise funding for road widening and guardrails. Heartfelt condolences to the families. 🕊️

DC Bilal Mohiuddin Bhat visiting the injured shows accountability. But we need systemic changes - regular road audits, emergency response teams stationed near high-risk areas, and speed control measures. Gujarat tourists coming so far deserve safe travel. Om Shanti to departed souls. 🙏
