India Launches ‘Operation Brahma’ to Aid Myanmar Earthquake Victims

New Delhi: In a swift humanitarian response to the devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, the Indian Army has launched ‘Operation Brahma’ to provide urgent medical assistance to the affected population.

A 118-member elite medical task force from the Shatrujeet Brigade Medical Responders, led by Lieutenant Colonel Jagneet Gill, is set to depart for Myanmar shortly with essential medical equipment and supplies. The Airborne Angels Task Force, known for its expertise in disaster relief, will deliver advanced medical and surgical care to those in need.

As part of the relief efforts, the Indian Army will establish a 60-bed Medical Treatment Centre in the quake-hit region to provide trauma care, emergency surgeries, and essential medical services. The initiative aims to support Myanmar’s strained healthcare system, which has been overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster.

This mission underscores India’s commitment to its ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy and the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ – the world is one family. The Indian Army’s rapid deployment reaffirms India’s role as a first responder in the region, standing in solidarity with friendly nations in times of crisis.
