Srinagar March 29: The Indian Army on Saturday launched Operation Brahma to provide aid to the earthquake victims in Myanmar.

A specialised medical task force was deployed to provide urgent humanitarian assistance.

As per the handout issued here, a 118-member team from the elite Shatrujeet Brigade Medical Responders, led by Lieutenant Colonel Jagneet Gill, was deputed  to Myanmar along with essential medical equipment and supplies. "The Airborne Angels Task Force was trained and equipped to deliver advanced medical and surgical care in disaster-affected zones," the handout reads.

As part of the operation, the Indian Army will establish a 60-bed Medical Treatment Centre to provide immediate care to those injured in the calamity.

The facility will be capable of handling trauma cases, emergency surgeries, and essential medical services to support the local healthcare system, which has been severely strained by the disaster.

This humanitarian assistance underlines India’s commitment to its ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy and the timeless Indian ethos of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – the world is one family.

The Indian Army continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with friendly nations in times of crisis, reflecting India’s resolve to be a first responder in the region.

The deployment has been coordinated closely with the Ministry of External Affairs and in partnership with authorities in Myanmar.
