While I appreciate the CM's condolences, we need more than just words. The Loha Mandi area has been notorious for accidents for years. When will we see concrete action to improve road safety infrastructure?

As someone who frequently travels through that area, this doesn't surprise me. Heavy vehicles drive like there are no rules. Hope this tragedy leads to real change in enforcement. Prayers for the victims and their families.

Bhagwan unki aatma ko shanti de aur pariwar walon ko is ghatna ko sahne ki shakti de. The survivor's story is terrifying - imagine being in a parked car and this happens. We need immediate action on drunk driving and speeding enforcement.

This is devastating. The fact that political leaders from both sides are expressing condolences shows how serious this tragedy is. Hope the injured recover quickly and the authorities take strong action to prevent such incidents in future.
