Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha announced an ex-gratia of ₹4 lakh for the families of those who lost their lives in the recent floods. He appealed to the public to support the ongoing relief and rescue operations being carried out by the government and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel. During his visit to the relief camp at B.R. Ambedkar School in Battala, Agartala, Dr. Saha assessed the situation firsthand. “The situation remains critical. I urge everyone to cooperate with the government and NDRF teams. I am personally visiting all affected areas, and the Central Government, under the guidance of Home Minister Amit Shah, has provided essential support. Weather permitting, I may conduct an aerial survey to assess the situation further,” he stated.
The Chief Minister revealed that he has been in constant touch with Home Minister Amit Shah, who has assured all necessary assistance. “The condition in Amarpur, Gomati District, is especially concerning. Food supplies are being distributed, and we are exploring the possibility of airlifting additional aid. The priority is public safety, and this requires collective effort. All District Magistrates and Disaster Management teams are working tirelessly,” Dr. Saha added.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Dr. Saha reiterated the government’s commitment to aiding the affected families, stating, “The state government is providing ₹4 lakh as financial assistance to the kin of each deceased. I seek the cooperation of all during this challenging time and assure you that the administration is fully committed to supporting the bereaved.”
