💨 Abstract

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has appealed to the 16th Finance Commission to increase funds for the state, which suffered a loss of Rs 15,000 crore due to recent floods. He also discussed the state's dense forest coverage (73%) and the need for more plain land for industries. The CM sought an increase in the special award for states with dense forest coverage from 10% to 20%.
