A total of 110 personnel from the field hospital and 13 NDRF staff, along with equipment and medical supplies, arrived in Mandalay via 15 military trucks, 3 buses, and 7 vehicles from NDRF and India.
Aung Hlaing’s visit to India comes less than two months after he assumed office as Myanmar’s president following the country’s parliamentary elections.
Myanmar has been mired in chaos since the coup, with more than 1,100 civilians killed in a bloody crackdown on dissent and more than 8,000 arrested according to a local monitoring group.
The event commemorates the assassination of Aung San, a former Prime Minister who was gunned down at the age of 32 along with six Cabinet colleagues and two other officials in 1947.
