India to send 80-member NDRF team for rescue in earthquake-hit Myanmar
New Delhi: An 80-member National Disaster Response Force team will be sent from India on Saturday to assist with rescue and search operations in earthquake-hit Myanmar, where nearly 700 people have been killed, officials familiar with the matter said. The team is carrying all equipment needed for the rescue and search operations there,” a senior officer, requesting anonymity, told HT. Most of the team members are from the NDRF’s 8th battalion based in Ghaziabad, said the senior officer, adding “Many of the battalion’s members were also part of the search and rescue operations in Turkey. This is the third time India has sent the NDRF to assist with search and rescue operations outside the country, following the 2015 earthquake in Nepal and the 2023 earthquake in Turkey.
