Chahal emphasised the need for collective action to prevent such tragedies.

Jawanda died due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident near Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, on September 27. He passed away after 11 days of critical care due to multiple organ failure. Jawanda had reported lost control of his motorcycle. Some reports suggested that stray cattle might have entered the road, causing him to swerve and crash.
