This is a thoughtful gesture by CM Saha. Rs 4 lakh may not bring back loved ones, but it shows the government cares. Hope the families find some comfort. More focus should be on preventing such accidents though - better warning signs near water bodies needed. 🙏

Good to see our CM personally meeting affected families. In many states, such compensation comes after months of paperwork. The 'Mukhyamantri Samipeshu' initiative is also commendable - direct interaction solves problems faster than bureaucratic red tape.

While the financial aid is appreciated, we need long-term solutions. Tripura has many water bodies - why not implement swimming lessons in schools? And proper lifeguard training programs? Prevention is better than compensation.

Heartbreaking to read about so many lives lost. As a mother, I can't imagine the pain of these families. The CM's personal touch matters more than the money - shows leadership with empathy. May the departed souls rest in peace.

The compensation amount seems adequate, but will the government ensure it reaches the right hands? Often middlemen take cuts in such schemes. Hope there's proper monitoring. Also, why no mention of safety measures being implemented?

Seven lives lost is seven too many! 😢 While the aid is good, we need awareness campaigns about water safety, especially before monsoons. Many villagers don't know swimming - government should organize free training programs in vulnerable areas.
