Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> on Saturday telephoned Myanmar<\/a> junta leader Gen Min Aung Hlaing<\/a> on Saturday as the 7.7 magnitude earthquake shook the country killing over 1,000 people a day earlier and stated that India stands in solidarity. <\/p>\n

“Spoke with Senior General H.E. Min Aung Hlaing of Myanmar. Conveyed our deep condolences at the loss of lives in the devastating earthquake. As a close friend and neighbour, India stands in solidarity with the people of Myanmar in this difficult hour,” Modi said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

India has launched Operation Brahma under which it is providing assistance to neighbouring Myanmar. In the early hours of Saturday, a C17 aircraft of the Indian Air Force<\/a> left the Hindon Air Force station with 15 tonnes of relief material. <\/p>\n

The supplies, which reached the Myanmarese city of Yangon, included tents, sleeping bags, blankets, ready-to-eat meals, water purifiers, solar lamps, generator sets and essential medicines, said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. A search and rescue team and medical team also accompanied the flight. <\/p>\n

The relief materials were handed over to Chief Minister of Yangon U Soe Thein by Indian envoy to Myanmar Abhay Thakur.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, two more IAF aircraft were loaded with relief material which left the Hindon Air Base for Myanmar. A National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) search and rescue team with 80 members also departed for capital Nay Pyi Taw where they will assist in the rescue operations, Jaishankar said.<\/p><\/div>\n
