Agartala, Oct 22: Families of three Tripura residents who died in Bengaluru have appealed to the state government and the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) for urgent financial and administrative assistance to bring their mortal remains home for the last rites.
The deceased have been identified as Sajjit Debbarma (43), Laxmi Debbarma (22) and Parikshit Debbarma. All three had reportedly travelled to Bengaluru in search of employment and better livelihood opportunities.
The circumstances surrounding their deaths remain unclear, and their families are awaiting official information about the cause of the tragedy.
The uncertainty has compounded the grief of the bereaved families, who are struggling to cope with the sudden loss while arranging for the transportation of the bodies to their native places in Tripura.
Family members said the cost of transporting the mortal remains from Bengaluru to Tripura was beyond their financial means. They have, therefore, sought financial assistance from the state government and TTAADC authorities, along with administrative support to facilitate the process.
The families have urged the authorities to intervene promptly and expedite the necessary formalities so that the mortal remains can be brought home and the last rites performed without further delay.
The deaths have caused concern in the deceased persons’ native areas, where relatives and community members are awaiting further information about the circumstances of the incident.
The incident has also highlighted the difficulties faced by economically vulnerable families when relatives working outside their home state die unexpectedly. In addition to coping with the emotional trauma, families may have to arrange substantial funds for transporting mortal remains over long distances and completing the associated administrative procedures.
For the families of the three deceased, bringing their loved ones home has become an immediate priority amid the uncertainty surrounding the deaths.
They have appealed to the authorities to extend all possible financial and logistical assistance and ensure that the mortal remains are transported to Tripura at the earliest.
Meanwhile, the families continue to await official details about the circumstances in which the three residents died in Bengaluru. Further information regarding the deaths and the assistance sought by the families was awaited.
