Heartbreaking! Just last month my cousin narrowly escaped an accident on the same route. Why aren't there proper crash barriers on these dangerous curves? CM Sukhu ji, condolences are good but we need preventive action!

The monsoon death toll is alarming - 199 lives lost! While natural disasters can't be prevented, better road engineering and timely warnings could save many lives. My deepest sympathies to all affected families 🙏

As someone who frequently travels to Himachal, I've noticed many drivers take dangerous risks on these roads. Maybe stricter enforcement of traffic rules along with infrastructure improvements could help prevent such tragedies.

Bhagwan unki aatma ko shanti de... The financial assistance announced is good but can never compensate for the loss of loved ones. We need better emergency response teams in remote hilly areas - sometimes help arrives too late.

Respectfully, while the CM's condolences are appreciated, we need concrete action. ₹1900 crore loss shows the scale of problem. Why not use technology like landslide warning systems that other hilly states have implemented?
