A staggering 68,826 hectares of farmland have been either fully or partially destroyed resulting in a loss of 2.43 lakh metric tons as the state grapples with the aftermath of relentless rains.
The devastating floods, triggered by record rainfall, have led Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha to urgently seek assistance from the central government, including the deployment of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams.
The flood in Bangladesh is primarily due to waters from large catchments downstream of the dam, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
In a post on the X platform, Shah said, “Spoke with CM Tripura Manik Saha and took stock of the flood situation in the state.”
