Agartala: Tripura CM Manik Saha on Friday said home minister Amit Shah has asked him to send the final report on the damage due to the devastating flood in the state.
Shah made the request to the CM during a telephonic talk on the flood that left 36 people dead and over one lakh people homeless between August 19 and 23.
The development came days after former CM Manik Sarkar urged Saha to send an all-party team to Delhi to put pressure on the Centre for speedy release of funds for rebuilding the flood-battered state.
Saha said there is no need to send such a team since "we have a guardian like PM (Narendra Modi) under whose guidance we are working.
Today, I spoke with home minister Amit Shah who told me to send the final report on damage at the earliest for releasing funds from the Centre”. PTI
