Agartala: Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Wednesday sanctioned Rs 288.93 crore for Tripura and Rs 170.99 crore for Nagaland under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) along with three other disaster-hit states of the country, highly placed sources in the state government said here on Wednesday.

The central government has approved additional central assistance of Rs 1554.99 crore to natural disaster-affected Andhra Pradesh, Nagaland, Odisha, Telangana, and Tripura under the NDR fund. All those states had faced several natural calamities last year and demanded separate funds from the centre.

Officials said Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured them that the Modi government would stand like a rock in support of the disaster-affected people. The central government in the last quarter of the fiscal has decided to extend support to these states in addition to Rs 18,322.80 crore released to 27 states as disaster relief.

Besides Tripura and Nagaland, Rs 608.08 crore has been approved for Andhra Pradesh, Rs 255.24 crore for Odisha, and Rs. 231.75 crore for Telangana. The announcement came two days after Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha met Shah at Delhi and demanded additional assistance.

Tripura has suffered massive losses after a flood hit the state in August of 2024.
