Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed sorrow over a fatal road accident in Phalodi, Rajasthan, on November 2, 2025, where at least 15 to 18 people died and several were injured after a tempo-traveller collided with a parked trailer on the Bharat Mala Highway. He condoled the victims’ families and announced ex-gratia payments of ₹2 lakh from the PMNRF to each family and ₹50,000 to the injured. The victims, returning from a religious event in Kolayat, were trapped in the damaged vehicle.
