Initial instalments of Rs 20,000 have been disbursed to families who lost their homes, with those facing partial damages receiving Rs 5,000. Abhishek Banerjee, addressing the plight in Mainaguri\u2019s Barnish, emphasised the imminent transfer of the remaining Rs 40,000 to affected families\u2019 bank accounts. Since March 31, the Trinamul leadership, including Mamata and Abhishek, has been actively engaged in providing support to the affected populace, with Mamata personally visiting the regions and party leaders working on-ground to aid homeless families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BJP\u2019s response has been criticised for its lack of prompt action, with little presence observed in the affected areas. Notably, the Prime Minister\u2019s brief mentions of the disaster during his visits and failed attempts by the BJP to organise meetings with affected families have drawn attention. Abhishek Banerjee highlighted the ECI\u2019s failure to grant permission for assistance, citing police intervention in arresting their delegates instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trinamool\u2019s proactive engagement with the affected communities, exemplified by leaders such as Arpita Ghosh, Md. Nadimul Haque, Vivek Gupta, Sudip Raha, Dola Sen, and Santanu Sen, have underscored their commitment to grassroots support amidst the crisis. This development is poised to have significant political implications in the lead-up to the elections.
