Additionally, Chief Minister Saha took to Twitter to express his gratitude for the successful passage of the first POL (Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants) rake through the landslide-affected area between Jatinga-Haranga, which had been disrupted since April 26.

Big appreciation to the NFR (Northeast Frontier Railway) officials and workers for tirelessly restoring operations and to the people of Tripura for their cooperation. This rake will undoubtedly alleviate the fuel crisis in the state,” he tweeted.
The proactive response by the Railway Ministry not only underscores the effective coordination between state and central governments but also highlights the crucial role of the railway network in managing state-level crises.
The arrival of the fuel train is anticipated to greatly stabilize the fuel supply in Tripura, providing much-needed relief to its citizens and easing the recent tensions caused by the shortage.
