Amid the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in Myanmar, India has initiated 'Operation Brahma' to extend its support. On Saturday, a comprehensive Indian relief effort delivered 15 tonnes of essential materials to the affected regions.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored the country's commitment to assist Myanmar by speaking with Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, expressing solidarity with the nation in crisis. Following initial aid, two more Indian Air Force aircraft are set to transport additional relief supplies.
