PM Modi conveyed his condolences for the loss of lives and extensive property damage caused by the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar. He also reiterated India’s humanitarian assistance under ‘Operation Brahma’, which aims to provide relief to the affected areas. “India is doing whatever is possible to assist our sisters and brothers of Myanmar in this critical time,” PM Modi shared on social media.
