CM Dhami's response is commendable, but we need more than just prayers. The government must conduct a thorough road safety audit in all hilly districts. These accidents are becoming too frequent in Uttarakhand.

As someone who frequently travels to Pithoragarh, I can confirm the roads are in terrible condition. The administration must act now - better roads, proper barriers, and stricter vehicle checks could prevent such tragedies.

My heart goes out to the families. The rescue teams are doing heroic work in difficult terrain. Maybe we need more emergency response units stationed in remote hilly areas to reduce response times.

While CM's words are comforting, we need action! Every year hundreds die in hill road accidents. Why can't we learn from Himachal's road safety measures? Bhagwan unki aatma ko shanti de 🙏

The vehicle was carrying 13 people - was it overloaded? We need stricter enforcement of passenger limits in hilly areas. Condolences to the bereaved families. May the injured recover soon.
