1,300 families take shelter as floods swamp Tripura; waterlogging paralyses Agartala, IMD warns of more rain

AGARTALA: Around 1,300 families have taken shelter in government-run relief camps across West Tripura district following incessant rainfall over the past two days that has triggered severe flooding in several parts of the region. Incessant rainfall over the past two days has led to severe flooding across various parts of West Tripura district. As a result, nearly 1,300 families have been shifted to government shelter homes for safety. The state government is closely monitoring the flood-affected areas, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said in a Facebook post on Sunday. The Chief Minister added that the district administration has deployed teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), civil volunteers, and other agencies to assist in rescue and relief operations. Several localities in Agartala have also experienced heavy waterlogging, prompting authorities to activate water pumps to drain out the accumulated water. Officials are urging residents in flood-hit areas to follow government advisories and relocate to designated safe zones, the CM said. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall and thunderstorms across Tripura between June 1 and June 5, 2025. The forecast also warns of extremely heavy rainfall in isolated pockets, particularly in Dhalai and West Tripura districts. Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds (40-50 kmph) are also likely in some areas. The IMD has advised residents to take precautions, including avoiding areas prone to waterlogging and landslides, refraining from unnecessary travel, and adhering to traffic and weather advisories. According to officials, arrangements for food, shelter, medical care, and drinking water have been made at nearly 25 to 30 government shelters across the state. Food, drinking water, medical assistance, and all necessary amenities are being provided at the shelters, they said. Tripura CM Manik Saha also visited flood-affected areas in Agartala and relief camps to review the ongoing relief efforts. According to eyewitnesses, teams comprising SDRF, NDRF, and Aapda Mitra volunteers are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of the affected population. Temporary shelters have been set up in schools across the district to accommodate those displaced by the floods, the Chief Minister said. He added that Agartala Municipal Corporation Mayor Manipal is coordinating closely with the district authorities to expedite relief measures. We're doing everything possible to ensure everyone's safety and to provide the necessary aid, he said during a visit to the affected areas. In addition, the India Meteorological Centre in Agartala has warned of potential impacts such as poor visibility due to intense rainfall, traffic congestion, flash floods, waterlogging, and the possibility of landslides or mudslides. People have been advised to stay away from vulnerable areas and take all necessary precautions.

Rain disrupts normal life across Tripura and Manipur, authorities issue red alert for three districts

AGARTHALA: Heavy rain threw normal life out of gear across several parts of Tripura on Friday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting more intense showers over the next 24 hours. The state capital, Agartala, recorded 25 mm of rainfall in the past 24 hours, according to officials. The IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall accompanied by squally winds reaching speeds of 5060 km/h across the state due to a deep depression over the Northwest Bay of Bengal.

An official from the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) confirmed that while all eight districts recorded rainfall, no major damage to property or loss of life has been reported.

Officials said traffic movement was affected in Kakwa, Thangmeiband, and Sagolband areas in Imphal West district due to severe water accumulation. The water levels of key rivers, including the Imphal and Serou rivers, have also risen significantly, prompting concern across the valley. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier forecast heavy rainfall across various parts of the state, especially in the southern districts of Chandel, Churachandpur, Pherzawl, and portions of Kakching and Thoubal.

Assam to act against Aadhaar holders out of NRC

GUWAHATI: The Assam government on Sunday announced crackdown on Aadhaar card holders who did not apply to get their names included in the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Talking to the press while campaigning for the panchayat elections on Sunday, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said, We will launch a major drive within next two to four days against those who obtained Aadhaar cards and are living in Assam but did not apply for the NRC. He said the state government has already stopped issuing Aadhaar cards to those who did not apply for the NRC. However, before we took this step, many had obtained Aadhaar cards in Assam without applying for the NRC, he added. The chief minister also said that the state government had prepared an action plan to detect and drive out the illegal immigrants who entered Assam over the past few years. In September last year, Sarma stated that four Assam districts had more Aadhaar card holders than the projected population. The four districts are Barpeta and Dhubri in lower Assam, and Morigaon and Nagaon in central Assam. Among these, Dhubri shares a border with Bangladesh. We found that 103.74% people were issued Aadhaar cards in Barpeta, 103.48% in Dhubri, 101.74% in Morigaon and 100.68% in Nagaon. Surely, suspected immigrants have managed to procure Aadhaar cards, Sarma had said. Later in December, the state government decided that all applications for Aadhaar will be rejected unless the applicant or the family had not applied for the NRC. The NRC of 1951 was updated in Assam in deference to the 1985 Assam Accord and with the cut-off date of March 24, 1971. Over 19.06 lakh of the 3.3 crore applicants were left out of the NRCs complete draft published in August 2019. Meanwhile, three more persons were arrested in Assam for alleged anti-India remarks over the Pahalgam terror attack, taking the total number of such arrests to 16. The arrested trio were identified as Dadhichi Dimple alias Dimple Bora, Tahib Ali and Bimal Mahato. 4 Bangladesh nationals arrested in Agartala Security forces have arrested four Bangladeshi nationals from Agartala railway station for illegally entering India, officials said on Sunday. Meanwhile, the BSF has stepped up patrolling along the India-Bangladesh border amid high alert following the Pahalgam terror attack.
