Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday expressed deep grief over the fatal road accident in Karnataka’s Chitradurga district and announced financial assistance for the families affected by the tragedy. The Prime Minister conveyed his condolences to those who lost their loved ones and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.

The accident occurred in the early hours when a passenger bus collided with a speeding truck, triggering a massive fire. The bus, which was carrying more than 30 passengers, caught flames soon after the impact, leaving several occupants trapped inside. According to officials, at least nine people lost their lives in the incident, while others sustained injuries of varying degrees.

Local police and emergency teams rushed to the spot and launched rescue operations. However, the intensity of the fire made it difficult to save many passengers, turning the incident into one of the deadliest road accidents reported in the district in recent times. Authorities have begun an investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash and to assess possible negligence.

In response to the tragedy, the Prime Minister announced ex gratia assistance from the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund. The families of those who died will receive ₹2 lakh each, while those injured in the accident will be provided ₹50,000 as financial support. The announcement was shared by the Prime Minister’s Office through an official statement on social media.
