Naresh Chauhan, the Principal Media Advisor to the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, addressed the incident, stating, "This is a tragic event. We have reports of around 20 to 25 injuries, and seven fatalities. Our thoughts are with the bereaved families."

He further mentioned, "The local administration is doing everything possible to assist. Rescue operations are underway, and the injured are being transported to hospitals. The entire administration is actively involved in the response efforts."
