In the aftermath of recent floods in Tripura and West Manipur, stagnant water and heightened humidity have raised serious concerns over mosquito-borne diseases and sanitation-related health hazards. Responding swiftly, Assam Rifles has initiated proactive measures to safeguard civilian health in the affected regions.
On June 5, 2025, Assam Rifles conducted extensive fogging operations in the flood-affected areas of Chandrapur and Resham Bagan under Sadar Sub Division, West Tripura District. This drive, carried out in close coordination with the civil administration, targeted the prevention of vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and chikungunya.
Additionally, Assam Rifles organized a medical camp at Dologaon Bazar, Kailashahar, Unakoti District, where around 120 internally displaced flood victims were screened and provided with necessary medical treatment and medicines. The medical team’s prompt response was highlighted by their successful resuscitation of an unconscious 40-year-old woman.
In West Manipur, Assam Rifles extended its support by setting up medical camps and distributing food supplies in Kamranga and Chotabekra (Jiribam District) and Tatbung (Tamenglong District), bringing much-needed relief to 184 flood-affected individuals.
These timely and compassionate interventions further reinforce Assam Rifles’ reputation as the ‘Sentinels of North East,’ always ready to serve and protect communities in times of crisis.
