Bengal Chief Minister announces Rs 9 lakh compensation for families of flood victims in Sabang

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced a compensation of Rs 9 lakh for the families of two individuals who died in flood-related incidents in Sabang. Following the visit, Adhikari reported that the flood had caused damage to 3,200 houses in the Sabang block, with each affected family receiving Rs 30,000 in aid. The chief minister also unveiled an Arambagh Master Plan, allocating Rs 1,200 crore for its implementation, which is to commence in December and conclude by 2027.

The floods were triggered by heavy rainfall, peaking on Monday and tapering off slightly on Tuesday. Keleghai's water level has since dropped below the danger mark. Amidst the relief efforts, the administration has been directed to swiftly distribute essential supplies such as food, water, and ration to those still stranded.
