Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha has announced financial assistance for 258 families affected by violence following the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) election results. During a visit to a relief shelter in Agartala, he met several victims who had been displaced by the unrest.

The TTAADC elections were held on April 14, with results declared on April 17. The Tipra Motha secured a decisive victory, winning 24 out of 28 seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party won the remaining four. Soon after the results were announced, tensions escalated in different parts of the state, leading to incidents of violence, property damage, and injuries.

Reports suggest that several homes were vandalized, forcing many families to flee and take refuge in safer locations. According to police sources, at least 258 families have been impacted so far.

To address the situation, the state government has approved immediate financial relief of Ra 25,000 for each affected family. District Magistrates and Collectors have been instructed to ensure swift distribution of the aid. An initial allocation of Rs 64.5 lakh has already been sanctioned, with further assessments ongoing to identify additional beneficiaries across eight RD Blocks.

The government has also initiated action under the Tripura Recovery of Damages to Public and Private Property Act, 2021. Authorities have stated that those responsible for the destruction will be held accountable, and compensation for damages will be recovered from them and provided to the victims.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister has scheduled a high-level meeting with senior officials, including the Director General of Police and the Chief Secretary, to review the situation and take necessary steps to restore law and order in the state.
