This package, he said, is aimed at providing relief and rehabilitation to the people affected by the recent floods. The package includes various components, such as financial assistance, food supplies, medical care, and infrastructure development. The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of timely and effective implementation of the relief measures. The floods in Tripura have caused significant damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and livelihoods. The state government has been working tirelessly to provide relief and rehabilitation to the people affected by the floods.
This package will be funded by the state government’s own resources and will not involve any external borrowing. The state government has also decided to prioritize the restoration of basic infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and power supply, as a top priority. This is crucial for restoring normalcy and facilitating the recovery process. The state government has also announced a comprehensive plan for the rehabilitation of affected communities. This plan will focus on providing temporary shelters, food, and medical care to the flood victims.
The package also includes Rs 100 crore for the Health Department, which will be used to procure essential medicines and medical equipment for hospitals across the state. This will ensure that hospitals have the necessary resources to treat patients effectively. The package also includes Rs 50 crore for the Education Department, which will be used to provide financial assistance to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This will help to reduce the burden of education costs for these students.
The government has also announced a special scheme for the flood-affected students to provide them with financial assistance and scholarships. The government has also taken steps to ensure the continuity of education in the flood-affected areas. This includes providing temporary classrooms, setting up of mobile libraries, and establishing online learning platforms.
This allocation is a significant step towards ensuring the water security of the state. The Public Works Department (Water Resources) has been tasked with the responsibility of managing and maintaining the state’s water resources. This includes the development, construction, and maintenance of dams, channels, and other water infrastructure projects.
