Agartala/Imphal/Guwahati/Aizawl: Torrential rain in the past 48 hours has wreaked havoc in the north-eastern states, claiming four lives in Tripura and Manipur, disrupting rail services in Assam and rendering thousands homeless across the region.
In Tripura, the state government has sought Army and NDRF assistance from the Centre for evacuation and rescue operations in marooned areas of the state.
CM Biplab Kumar Deb, who visited the flood-hit areas of Unakoti district on Wednesday, briefed Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh about the "critical situation" in the state Thursday morning, a senior official of the state administration said.
