What a nightmare truly looks like. There have been earthquake reported from Myanmar, Thailand
00:11
and remember that this is not just about the earthquake. 7.7 on the Richter scale. Prime
00:18
Minister Modi also has immediately put out statements expressing concerns over these
00:23
earthquake that have happened and remember we are talking about multiple countries here
00:27
that have been impacted. Prime Minister Modi says the External Affairs Ministry is in touch
00:31
with Myanmar and Thailand. We are concerned by the situation. We are praying for the safety
00:36
and well-being of everyone. India stands ready to offer all possible assistance and in this
00:41
regard we have already asked the authorities to be on standby. We have asked the External
00:45
Affairs Ministry to remain in touch with the governments of Myanmar and Thailand. Just
00:50
for the background for the viewer, if you are tuning in right now, there's been a 7.7
00:55
on the Richter scale earthquake that has hit specifically Myanmar which has been the epicentre
01:02
but as you've seen there have been visuals coming in from Thailand as well, other countries
01:07
as well and the visuals are scary to say the least. Buildings falling like a pack of cards
01:15
within seconds. For example, a visual on your screen, people rushing for cover, rushing
01:22
to safety, look at that. That is an under-construction building though but there are many residential
01:27
buildings which have been caught on video falling within seconds and therefore remember
01:33
it's not just about the situation right now but as much about civilians there, not just
01:39
property aftermath and both Thailand and Myanmar have a very strong Indian diaspora population
01:46
as well and therefore it's pertinent on Prime Minister Modi as much to immediately send
01:51
out a message with regard to if any assistance is needed to offer it for Myanmar and Thailand
01:56
government but also of course remember we are talking about thousands if not lakhs of
02:01
Indians who do reside or visit Thailand and Myanmar. Visuals from the airport on one side,
02:09
let's take a look at some of the visuals coming in consistently. So the epicentre was Myanmar,
02:17
that's why the impact has been maximum there but there has been also Thailand, Bangladesh,
02:24
parts of China that has suffered from the earthquake and the visuals speaking for itself.
02:31
Remember this is what truly a nightmare earthquake really looks like. 7.7 on the Richter scale
02:36
in itself is a high number and then also it depends about the depth and the shallow depth
02:42
here has led to that kind of aftermath on your screens.
03:00
Remembers remember while the maximum of course aftermath has been witnessed in Myanmar which
03:06
has been the epicentre but even in Bangkok which is an international tourist destination
03:11
even at this time of the day there has been a strong tremor that has been felt. We are
03:16
told that just about 10 kilometres was the depth epicentre Myanmar and therefore even
03:24
in other countries, the neighbour countries there has been a kind of panic, people running
03:31
for shelter. Indian Prime Minister not wasting any time and immediately putting out a statement
03:36
to say that we are watching and if there is any assistance required we have told the
03:41
authorities to be on standby.
