Heavy rains have caused severe flooding and landslides in Tripura, resulting in seven deaths. Floodwaters have forced over 34,000 people into 346 relief camps. Chief Minister Manik Saha visited affected areas in Agartala and met with families in shelters. He has requested additional NDRF teams for support. Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, have called for immediate relief and aid.
