There three more Indian Navy ships — INS Karmukh, INS Gharial, and LCU-52 — are on their way to Yangon, carrying over 500 tonnes of additional relief materials, according to PTI.

India mounted its relief mission named 'Operation Brahma' as a swift response to the devastation caused by the earthquake that hit Myanmar last week. On Saturday, New Delhi sent relief materials, rescue teams and medical equipment in five military aircraft to Myanmar to help victims of the earthquake.

According to the Indian embassy in Myanmar, another C-130 aircraft of the Indian Air Force is expected to land in Mandalay on Tuesday, carrying over 15 tonnes of relief materials. "We will stay engaged with Myanmar authorities and stakeholders for continuing our support in the weeks ahead, as Myanmar assesses the full extent of the damage and begins its rehabilitation and recovery efforts," it said.

Under its rescue mission, New Delhi dispatched an 80-member search and rescue team from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and military field hospitals to Myanmar.

A specialised rescue team from the Indian Army's 50 (I) Para Brigade has also been swiftly deployed to Myanmar.

On Monday, India's National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team conducted a rescue operation at the U hla thein monastery, where 170 monks are stuck. The NDRF team were also deployed at the Sky Villa, where 4 towers of 11 storeys each have collapsed and several foreigners are stuck.
