In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand on 28 Mar 25, the Government of India has launched Operation Brahma for rendering assistance to Myanmar. INS Satpura and Savitri, from the Eastern Naval Command, have sailed for Yangon on 29 Mar 25, as part of the Indian Navy’s immediate response towards Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR).
In addition, Indian Navy Ships Karmuk and LCU 52 from the Andaman and Nicobar Command will also be sailing for Yangon on 30 Mar 25, to assist in the HADR operations. The Indian Navy remains committed to India’s resolve to remain the ‘First Responder’ in the region.
The third tranche, involving two IAF C-17 aircraft, transported a 118 member Indian Army Field Hospital Team with over 60 tons of supplies, rapidly deployable surgical and medical shelters, water sanitation and hygiene services and most importantly women and child care services. The 200 bedded field hospital in Mandalay is now operational, treating patients and performing surgeries.
The MEA further said that Indian Naval ships Satpura and Savitri, from the Eastern Naval Command – sailed for Yangon on March 29 carrying 40 tonnes of HADR material. India stands ready to deploy more material assistance and resources to Myanmar depending on ground-level needs and requirements, the MEA said.
