The Belonia region in South Tripura district witnessed severe devastation on Wednesday displacing hundreds and causing widespread distress among residents following flooding due to unprecedented rainfall in Tripura. A team led by CPIM Belonia divisional secretary Comrade Tapas Dutta, MLA Ashok Mitra, CPIM district committee member Babul Debnath, and labour leader Jaydev Bhowmik visited the flood-hit areas to assess the situation and meet the affected communities on Wednesday.


Vishnu Muhuri, a resident who was among the affected, expressed the gravity of the situation, stating that he hadn't seen such catastrophic conditions in over 40 years. According to the district authorities, at least 13 relief camps have been set up following the flood situation. As per the district authorities, the areas of Meghar Ambari and Ram Kishorepur are particularly hard-hit. Two deaths have been reported in these areas following the floods.



In Amjad City alone, 300 families have been displaced and several have been shifted to the relief camps.
