AGARTALA, Oct 23 (TIWN): Every natural calamity turns a boon for cash hungry Manik Sarkar Govt as more Central fundings enrich party funds via dubious means. When the flood victims across state are deprived of compensation since 3 floods, Tripura PWD Minister Badal Choudhury is busy to add a new tally with flood-damages of the year. Addressing a press meet at Secretariat, PWD Minister Badal Chowdhury said, “Due to the depression at Bay of Bengal a constant rain has hit the state led massive floods across the state from Oct 19 to Oct 22. Total 139 flood relief camps were opened and 5893 families have taken shelter in those camps. Medicines, foods everything are provided in sufficient manner".But surprising matter is that when the Minister is claiming about full care to the flood victims on the other side the flood victims are alleging about total negligence of the Govt.

The flood victims also alleged about pathetic condition of flood relief camps which lacks basic facilities. 

Badal Chowdhury further said, “We have started to measure the flood losses across the state. PWD has estimated Rs. 9 crores of losses, Agriculture 80 crores, Fishery 12 crores, irrigation dept 55 crores. At the Dist level also the measuring of losses have started”.

But question raises, how far it will take time to reach the compensations to the flood victims as since 3 floods the victims are deprived of compensations.

At Agartala Pratapgarh's flood relief camp, it has been exposed by flood victims that they have not yet received compensations from the state govt since last 3 floods, even though DM Office is noting down the victims names, addresses every times. In this condition how far Ministers' claims are true, it's under doubt.
