Indian rescue team’s valour shines in Myanmar: tale of faith, loss, and unwavering humanity

MANDALAY (MYANMAR): (Apr 3) Indian personnel are tirelessly conducting relief and rescue operations in quake-struck Mandalay, braving the stench of death to recover bodies from the rubble. Amid the devastation, a story of faith and resilience emerged—one that will be etched in the memory of those who witnessed it.

It was the sacred hour of Alvida Namaz of Ramzan when the catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar last Friday, the death toll of which has risen to more than 3,000.

Near Street 86A in the former royal capital of Mandalay, a devout Muslim woman and young child, among others, were deep in prayer, unaware of the disaster unfolding around them.
