The IMD has warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall (7-20 cm) in some places, and extremely heavy rainfall at a few places in North Tripura and Unakoti districts. (File)
Over 200 people were rendered homeless and at least 106 houses were damaged as thunderstorms and heavy showers lashed different parts of Tripura in the past 24 hours, the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC) said Friday evening.
As per an SEOC release, a total of 207 people from 57 families were shifted to four relief camps in Khowai and West Tripura districts. So far, one person has died at Jirania in the West Tripura district. A female elephant also died at the Mungiakami Rural Development block in Khowai district.
“As per the IMD report at 1 pm today, the depression over Bangladesh moved north-northeastwards over Bangladesh about 110 km northwest of Dhaka (Bangladesh). It is very likely to continue to move nearly north-northeastwards and weaken during the next 12 hours. Under its influence, Heavy to Very Heavy rainfall with Isolated Extremely Heavy Rainfall and Squally/Gusty winds is very likely to occur. IMD has issued a Red Warning today up to 8.30 am of 31st May, 2025, over North Tripura and Unakoti Districts. Remaining Districts are given Orange Warning,” the SEOC release stated.
Several roads at Longtraivalley in Dhalai district, Jirania and Mohanpur in West Tripura district, Jampuijala in Sepahijala district, and Karbook, Silacherri, Gomati and Sabroom in South Tripura district were blocked after trees fell during thunderstorms.
However, as per the latest reports, all major rivers in the state, including Gomati, Muhuri, and Feni, are flowing below the danger mark. However, River Howrah in Agartala – particularly under the Jawhar Bridge – was found to be flowing at 10.01 metres against the Critical Level of 10 metres.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha said, “I have already spoken to disaster management officials. I have asked them to keep a watch on all places in the state. Last time, we made arrangements for flood victims. If the situation deteriorates, we shall surely take more initiatives.” Saha held a review meeting attended by the chief secretary and the revenue secretary, among others, over the rain situation in the state.
“Considering the experience from last year, we have already formed rescue teams. As per a report of the Drinking Water and Sanitation department, the water level is still below the danger mark in the Bishalgarh subdivision. If there is more rainfall, then it may cross the danger level. But we want to assure the people that the administration is prepared fully for the situation,” said a district official in Sepahijala.
The floods last year cost 38 lives apart from affecting over 17 lakh people, and causing estimated damages worth Rs 15,000 crore.
Over two lakh people were shifted to 889 relief camps across the state as flood waters submerged large tracts in all eight districts.
