“We reviewed the ongoing relief measures after the recent floods in Tripura. I deeply appreciate his valuable inputs and continued support,” the Chief Minister said.
Tripura suffered significant losses due to the devastating floods in August 2024, prompting urgent relief measures from both the state and central governments.
