June 9, 2020: Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb paid homage to the family of Bijoy Debbarma, a martyr who died in the Indo-China border in Arunachal Pradesh.

The Tripura chief minister went to the martyr’s house in Sepahijala district in Tripura on Sunday. The army man is survived by his parents, wife Asha Debbarma and son.

The Chief Minister announced a package of Rs 5 lakh from the relief fund as compensation to the family.  The chief minister further added that all government facilities would be extended to the family for their assistance so that they do not face any further challenges.

“Every effort will be made by our government to provide all the facilities available to the martyr Bijoy Debbarma’s family,” the chief minister said.
