Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha today said that the state government is fully prepared to tackle any situation amidst the flood and that all officials are on the ground and keeping close eye on the flood situation.
Dr. Saha said this after visiting the flood-affected areas of Agartala.
He inquired about the people displaced due to heavy rains who have taken shelter in various relief camps.
On Sunday, Dr. Saha visited flood-hit areas including Chandrapur, Pratapgarh, and Baradowali along the banks of the Howrah River in Agartala. He also inspected the overall management of seven relief camps and interacted with the residents.
“Over the last two days, there has been massive rainfall not only in Tripura but also in Assam, which has caused extensive damage. Today, I visited the relief camps in Agartala. Despite heavy rainfall, the water has receded, indicating that the drainage system is functioning well,” Dr. Saha said.
He further informed that 24 relief camps have been opened for flood victims, with proper food arrangements.
“Medical teams are on the spot and have been instructed to maintain sanitation. NDRF, SDRF, Apada Mitra, volunteers, and Tripura Police are all working on the ground. Government officials, Agartala Municipal Corporation staff, and karyakartas are working tirelessly. We are fully prepared,” he said.
The Chief Minister urged people in flood-prone areas to shift to safer locations to avoid danger.
He added that miking announcements have been made, and all water pumps in Agartala city are functioning actively to drain out logged water.
