Six lives lost just like that. 😢 These e-rickshaw accidents are becoming too common in UP villages. The government must enforce stricter norms for tractor-trailers on main roads. PM Modi's condolences are appreciated, but let's hope the state administration also compensates the families quickly.

Very sad news from Budaun. As a citizen, I appreciate PM Modi's prompt response and his message of condolence. However, I wish the local administration had taken preventive measures beforehand. Accidents on rural roads need better traffic management. Praying for the injured. 🙏

Such a tragedy. My thoughts are with the families who lost their mothers and sisters today. It's commendable that PM Modi personally reached out with condolences. But the bigger question is whether our rural infrastructure is safe enough for these small vehicles. Rip 🙏

This is really tragic. Six women from Budaun lost their lives in a moment. PM Modi's words of solace matter, but I hope the UP government also announces financial aid for the bereaved families. These women were likely daily wage earners or homemakers - their loss affects entire households. 😔

Very painful to read this news from Budaun. PM Modi's quick reaction shows his concern for every life lost in our country. At the same time, we need to hold the state government accountable for road safety audits on these highways where tractors and e-rickshaws share the same space. Prayers for the injured. 🙏
