Pawan Kalyan after getting informed avout the incident shared a post, "The ADB road between Kakinada and Rajahmundry has collapsed. This road has not been taken care of in the last five years. This damaged road is being repaired. At this stage, I am saddened to know that two youths have died in an accident on the ADB road. Sri Arava Manikantha and Sri Tokada Charan, residents of Gaigolupadu in Kakinada district, were going home on a two-wheeler on Saturday night. The accident occurred when a speeding vehicle hit the youths who were riding the bike. The youths died. I express my deepest condolences to the families of Sri Manikantha and Sri Charan." He even stated "On behalf of the Jana Sena Party, we will provide financial assistance of Rs. 5 lakh each to the families of the deceased. I have made it clear to my office officials that arrangements should be made to provide adequate assistance from the government. From now on, I have decided to travel on ADB road for visits to the Pithapuram constituency." ‘Pushpa 2’ Stampede Case: Allu Arjun Granted Bail; Actor to Appear Before Chikkadpally Police Station Every Sunday. 

Pawan Kalayan wrote how much ADB Road plays and important connect for travel and what it needs extra case. "ADB Road is a very important road for travel between Kakinada and Rajamahendravaram cities. The previous government did not care about the expansion and reconstruction of this road. Even the minimum maintenance work was not carried out. There were no proper electric lights. As a result, accidents increased. This is a very useful road for the people of five constituencies. People are taking alternative roads to travel between the two cities. The coalition government took up the ADB road work. The accident that took place at this stage is sad. The youth who died in this accident met with a tragic death while returning home from the Game Changer pre-release ceremony. They were told once or twice during that ceremony to go home safely."
