Heavy rains have worsened flooding across Tripura, prompting authorities to open 17 relief camps that now shelter 1,352 displaced residents.
Heavy monsoon rains have caused river levels to rise, worsening flooding in several parts of Tripura. The rising waters have forced many households to abandon their homes as roads and low‑lying areas become inundated.
The state disaster management authority has established 17 relief camps across the region. These shelters are currently accommodating 1,352 people who have been evacuated from the worst‑hit zones.
Camp officials report that basic necessities such as food, drinking water and temporary bedding are being distributed, while health teams monitor for water‑borne illnesses.
Authorities continue to assess the situation and have appealed for additional resources to support the displaced families until floodwaters recede.
