Amid the flooding in several parts of Tripura, the Indian Army on Thursday rescued over 330 civilians during extensive Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations.
As part of the Jal Rahat operation, two columns of the 18 Assam Rifles, operating under the command of HQ 21 Sector Assam Rifles and IGAR (East), have been deployed across the flood-affected areas of Amarpur, Bhampur, Bishalgarh, and Ramnagar in the state, the Indian Army said, adding that they have also provided medical aid to seven civilians, addressing urgent health concerns amidst challenging conditions.
Meanwhile, on Friday, Chief Minister (CM) Manik Saha visited the flood-affected areas of Udaipur, Gomati district, which have been severely damaged owing to heavy rains. CM Saha also inspected the shelter house at BR Ambedkar School in Bordowali and assured the citizens there that the government will provide them with all the necessary support.
"Reaching out to flood-affected areas by Chopper, assessing damage & ensuring aid reaches those in need. Constantly reviewing flood situation in Agartala & Udaipur, working to mitigate impact & support affected people," the CM said in a post on X.
Large areas of the state are flooded, and many citizens have been left homeless. They have been rehabilitated to various relief camps. During his visit, the CM also inspected the relief camps at Khilpara Higher Secondary School and Khilpara Market Shed and reviewed the management of the camps.
