A total of 110 personnel from the Indian Army's Field Hospital and 13 NDRF personnel, along with essential equipment and medical supplies, are currently enroute to Mandalay using 15 military trucks of the Myanmar Army, 3 buses, and 7 vehicles from the NDRF and Indian contingent.

The convoy is being escorted by Myanmar Army vehicles and is expected to reach Mandalay by 2:00 PM (MST).

Earlier, yesterday 10 Indian Army Field Hospital personnel, along with NDRF members, DCM, and DA, had arrived in Mandalay via MAF aircraft and conducted detailed coordination with Myanmar authorities including the Chief Minister of Mandalay Division and Lt Gen Myo Moe Aung, the lead coordinator for humanitarian work.
