Very tragic news. Auto drivers in Kerala often drive recklessly to get more trips. The government should enforce stricter safety checks on these vehicles. My heart goes out to the victims' families 🙏

This is so heartbreaking! Autos catching fire after accidents is becoming too common. Why aren't manufacturers making these vehicles safer? The fuel tanks need better protection. #SafetyFirst

The Kesavadasapuram junction is always chaotic. Poor traffic management and rash driving by all vehicles - cars, bikes and autos. Authorities need to take action before more lives are lost.

Terrible accident 😢 We need better emergency response systems. The fire brigade should have stations at closer intervals in busy cities like Thiruvananthapuram. Every minute counts in such situations.

While this is tragic, let's not jump to blame only auto drivers. Cars and bikes are equally responsible for accidents. We need better driver education and strict penalties for traffic violations across all vehicles.

The government should make fire extinguishers mandatory in all public transport vehicles. A small investment could save so many lives. Also, regular vehicle fitness checks should be enforced strictly.
