Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has said the government is closely monitoring the flood situation to ensure that no one faces any problems during these difficult times.

Agartala (Tripura) [India], May 29 (HBTV): Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha on Tuesday said the government is closely monitoring the overall situation to ensure that no one faces any problems during these difficult times. Due to heavy rainfall in the wake of Cyclone Remal, the Howrah River has created a flood-like situation, he said.    

"But this time it is much less severe than last time. The work on the dam has been very good this year, so the water levels have been managed much better," he said.   

Saha said this after inspecting the flood situation in the Bardowali Assembly constituency area of the capital on Tuesday.  

As the water level of the Howrah River rose due to Cyclone Remal, the residents along the riverbank had to take shelter in relief camps once again.

Saha said that the victims are being quickly rescued from areas that are in dangerous conditions due to the flooding of the Howrah River.   

"All their accommodations are being arranged by the administration," said Dr. Saha.

Later, the chief minister inspected the condition of the people who took shelter at the local Vivekananda School relief camp and inquired about their wellbeing.
