Agartala, Aug 25 (PTI) A 21-year-old man was killed and two children were injured on Wednesday in two separate landslides caused by incessant rain in South Tripura district, a senior official said.<\/p>\n
One Narayan Bhowmik, a daily wage labourer, died at 4 am when the mud house, where he was sleeping, collapsed on him at Sarasima village in Belonai subdivision.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident, two brothers- Rasel Miah (12) and Rahim Miah (11) – were injured in neighbouring Jherjheri village when another landslide hit their home, the official said.<\/p>\n
Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar wrote in a post on social media that he was in constant touch with the local authorities and monitoring the overall situation.<\/p>\n
He also said that assistance would be provided to every affected individual.<\/p>\n
District Magistrate of South Tripura Saju Vaheed said heavy rainfall for the last three days had affected some parts of the district, causing water-logging and landslips in some places, including the Belonia Municipal Council area.<\/p>\n
Mud walls of three houses were washed away while several other families were affected as rainwater entered their homes.<\/p>\n
The administration has taken steps for rescuing the affected people as well as providing assistance. The situation is under control now, Vaheed said.<\/p>\n
According to the district magistrate, initial financial assistance of Rs. 20,000 has been handed over to Bhowmik’s family while Rs. 4.20 lakh would be provided later.<\/p>\n
The injured were shifted to a local hospital where they are stated to be out of danger.<\/p>\n
