So tragic! I remember when 'Munda Like Me' came out in 2014 and how quickly he became popular. His voice had such emotion. Road accidents are becoming so common in Himachal - authorities really need to improve highway safety.

While it's sad, I wish our politicians wouldn't use such tragedies for publicity. They should focus on improving road safety and emergency medical services instead of just posting condolences on social media.

His wife and two children... can't imagine their pain. 11 days on life support must have been so traumatic for the family. His music will live on forever though - 'Kamla' still plays at every family function in our home.

Another talented artist lost to road accidents. The Baddi-Solan stretch is particularly dangerous. Hope his tragic death serves as a wake-up call for better road infrastructure and emergency response systems.
