Tripura deputy chief minister Jishnu Dev Verma wrote to Tata Trusts chairman Ratan Tata on Monday, requesting materials to combat Covid-19.
A second flight carrying relief cargo for the state also landed at Agartala on Sunday.
Dev Verma requested Tata Trusts for 100 ventilators, 50,000 personal protection equipment, alcohol-based sanitisers, N95 masks and 500 makeshift tents for attending patients, among others.
Tata Trusts adviser for the Northeast Ranjit Barthakur informed Dev Verma that the Tata Group has constituted a special team to activate the special requirements for the country. “Your requests are being processed to the best of the availability of the PPE/other requirements and have been incorporated into the request pool,” he replied.
