According to him, the state inflicted damages of almost Rs 15,000 crore as a result of the terrible flood.
The contributions of numerous nonprofit organizations and other groups during this crisis were likewise recognized and valued by the chief minister. The Chief Minister added that around 5,600 flood-affected families had received assistance from the non-governmental organization “Abhoy Mission” and its related organizations. During their tour to Tripura, the Inter-Ministerial Central Team examined the damage and conditions in several areas. The Chief Minister went on to say that Rs 564 crore had been set aside to deal with the catastrophe, including money from the state exchequer.
