Agartala (Tripura) [India], August 24 (HBTV): Residents taking shelter in relief camps in Tripura's Agartala lauded the state government's relief efforts and praised Chief Minister Manik Saha's leadership in providing support to those affected by floods in the state that have left many residents displaced. 

The flood victims also urged the state government to provide assistance to address property damage and personal losses. 

Aruna Sarkar, a resident of Jayanagar, expressed her gratitude and said, "I arrived at this relief camp this morning, and my family has been here for a few days. They have reported that the arrangements are excellent. The government is providing all necessary supplies, including food for infants and clean water. The support has been timely and well-organized." 

Ananta Vaishnav, who has been at a relief camp near the crematorium since last Tuesday, praised the services provided. 

"The meals and facilities are very good. Although I am vegetarian and had to adjust my diet, the overall arrangements have been commendable. I spoke with the Chief Minister, who assured me that any issues would be addressed. I am thankful for the assistance but urge the government to assist with property damage," Ananta said while speaking to ANI.

Priya Chakraborty, another resident at a relief camp, highlighted the personal losses she suffered. 

"Water reached neck level in my house, causing extensive damage to my belongings. While the camp provides good food, I hope the government will help us recover from the damage to our homes and property." 

Tanushree Sarkar, who also took refuge from Jayanagar, said that although her home was severely damaged, the relief camp's provisions, including baby food, were adequate. She urged for further government assistance to help repair the extensive damage to her property.

Rupa Sarkar, a cook at one of the relief camps, detailed the food services provided. "We serve three meals a day, including tiffins and special items like milk and egg curry. There is no shortage of food, and we are ensuring that all needs are met."
