Nine lives were lost in the disaster, according to Bemetara Collector Ranveer Sharma, who also emphasized the continued efforts to assist those afflicted with essential support and medical attention.

BJP MLA Dipesh Sahu said, “It’s a heartbreaking road accident that has taken place in the district,” in an attempt to show his sorrow for the lives lost. An automobile struck a parked car head-on. In this event, nine people have passed away. For medical attention, each wounded person is admitted to the hospital. The Raipur AIIMS has accepted those who are in critical condition. We are in solidarity with the bereaved family. The government is making every effort to assist.”
