NEW DELHI: The Indian Army deployed robot mules and nano drones to assist earthquake-stricken Myanmar. The 7.7-magnitude quake struck two weeks ago, killing more than 3,600 people, injuring thousands, and leaving many homeless.
In a video shared by the Army, a robot mule is seen walking over broken buildings and rubble. These machines are part of India’s special rescue efforts under the Search and Rescue (SAR) operations
India was one of the first countries to send help. Just a day after the disaster, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Myanmar’s military leader, Min Aung Hlaing, offering support and condolences. The relief effort, known as Operation Brahma , began immediately after the earthquake.
A field hospital from Agra, with 118 medical workers, was sent to Myanmar. Orthopaedic doctors also helped injured people get prosthetic limbs.
The ministry of external Affairs said, “It is our policy to be the first responder,” showing India’s commitment to helping its neighbours during emergencies.
Along with high-tech tools, India also sent an 80-member team from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). They came with special rescue equipment like cutters, drills, hammers, and machines to break through concrete.
The Indian Navy also joined the mission. Two ships — INS Satpura and INS Savitri — have delivered 40 tonnes of relief supplies to Yangon. Two more ships were also deployed, carrying supplies including food, medicines, and other emergency items.
India’s Ambassador to Myanmar, Abhay Thakur, officially gave the first batch of aid to Yangon’s Chief Minister, U Soe Thein.
