India felt mild tremors of the Myanmar earthquake in Kolkata in West Bengal, Imphal in Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram and Meghalya, provinces that border Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed concern, saying India stands ready to offer all possible assistance to Myanmar and Thailand.
The earthquake has rocked many parts of Thailand, including its capital Bangkok, the venue for next week's summit of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation regional grouping that is scheduled to be attended by Modi among other leaders.
"Concerned by the situation in the wake of the Earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand. Praying for the safety and wellbeing of everyone," Modi said on 'X'.
"India stands ready to offer all possible assistance. In this regard, asked our authorities to be on standby. Also asked the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) to remain in touch with the Governments of Myanmar and Thailand."
