Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the approval on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing the Modi government’s unwavering support for disaster-affected people.
“Today, the MHA approved an additional central assistance of ₹1,554.99 crore to Andhra Pradesh, Nagaland, Odisha, Telangana, and Tripura under the NDRF. This is in addition to the ₹18,322.80 crore already released to 27 states under the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF),” Shah stated.
Of the total ₹1,554.99 crore, the allocations include:
• ₹608.08 crore for Andhra Pradesh
• ₹170.99 crore for Nagaland
• ₹255.24 crore for Odisha
• ₹231.75 crore for Telangana
• ₹288.93 crore for Tripura
The announcement follows Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha’s recent meeting with Amit Shah in Delhi, where they discussed Tripura’s development roadmap and post-flood relief efforts.
Tripura suffered massive losses after devastating floods in August 2024, making the additional financial aid crucial for ongoing rehabilitation and recovery measures.
