Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb announced to provide one-time financial assistance of Rs 1000 to 8666 registered street vendors of the state.
The decision was taken after the 21-day nationwide lockdown has thrown their life out of gear.
“These street vendors are suffering from a huge loss due to the closure of their business,” Deb said while chairing a meeting on Wednesday.
“The financial assistance to the vendors will be paid from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and will be directly transferred to their bank accounts,” he added.
