Tripura: A landslide has struck the Saikar Road in Tripura due to relentless rainfall that has been lashing the state for the past few days. The incident has significantly disrupted the way to Agartala via Kamalpur, a crucial route for both daily commuters and transportation of goods.
The continuous downpour across Tripura has led to widespread flooding, further exacerbating the situation. Several districts, including North Tripura, Dhalai, and Gomati, are witnessing rising water levels, submerging homes, agricultural lands, and cutting off villages from essential services.
Authorities have reported that the landslide has caused substantial damage to the infrastructure on Saikar Road, making it impassable and posing a threat to nearby areas. Emergency services are on high alert, and efforts are underway to clear the debris and restore connectivity. However, the ongoing rainfall is hampering the progress, raising concerns of further landslides and flooding.
The state government has issued advisories urging residents in vulnerable areas to move to safer locations and avoid unnecessary travel. Relief camps have been set up in various parts of the state, and rescue operations are ongoing to assist those affected by the floodwaters.
The Met Department has predicted continued heavy rainfall over the next 48 hours, which could worsen the situation. Residents are advised to stay informed and follow updates from local authorities as the state braces for further challenges in the wake of this natural calamity.
