Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on June 2 launched the Chief Minister Covid Special Relief Package Scheme. Deb along with Agriculture and Transport Minister Pranajit Singha Roy, DM West Tripura District Raval H Kumar and other officials flagged off vehicles loaded with food packets to be provided free among some seven lakh families, a large section of them from the below poverty line (BPL). Chief Minister claimed for the first time such an initiative has been taken by the state so that the poor section of people who due to the Corona curfew are unable to go out of their houses and earn their livelihood can get some help from the government.
