Good to see both state and central leaders responding promptly. The ex-gratia from PMNRF will at least provide some financial support to the affected families during this difficult time.

Driving from the wrong side at high speed - this is pure negligence! The tipper driver should face strict legal action. We need better enforcement of traffic laws across India.

While the condolences and financial aid are appreciated, I wish our leaders would focus more on preventive measures rather than just reacting after tragedies. Road safety should be a national priority.

These accidents keep happening regularly on Indian roads. We need better driver training programs and regular vehicle fitness checks. The system needs a complete overhaul.
