According to ‘The Mirror’, the earthquake has also caused serious damage to the country’s mobile communication system. A total of 6,730 communication stations were damaged due to the earthquake, out of which 5,999 have been repaired.

Ata Thingan Festival of Myanmar
The tragedy of the earthquake has also affected Myanmar’s most prominent traditional festival ‘Ata Thingayan Festival’. This festival is celebrated on a large scale every year from 13 to 16 April.

The Yangon City Development Committee has ordered the suspension of all the public pavilions and programs of the city. The traditional New Year of Myanmar, which is on 17 April, has been asked to celebrate it with peace.

Communication, health and services stalled

Bangkok earthquake: More than 1600 deaths have been confirmed so far in the disastrous earthquake on Friday (March 28) in Myanmar. There is a possibility of killing 10 thousand people here. At the same time, this earthquake also led to 18 deaths in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. Out of these 18, 11 deaths occurred due to falling only one building, whose video is viral on social media for the last two days. Now a big controversy is arising in Bangkok regarding this building.

Actually, Bangkok is full of skyscrapers, but only a tall building collapsed during the earthquake. Interestingly, this building was building a Chinese company. It is also surprising that the Chinese company was also having big boars for this building. It was being said that this building would be the strongest building in Bankock. But see the havoc of nature that he only chose it in hundreds of buildings.

5 billion building, destroyed in 5 seconds
This building was being built for the State Audit Office of Thailand. It was being made together with Italian-Tahi Development PLC and China’s railway number-10 engineering group together. There was a deal to build this building for 5 billion rupees. Its work was going on for the last three years. The building was almost complete and only outside work was left but before the inauguration, the building became grounded.

The 30 -storey building fell into the early tremors of the earthquake. When this accident happened, dozens of people were working here. Till now, not all people have been removed from its debris. On the other hand, now the tone of protest is also being heard in Bangkok regarding this building. This is the reason that the Thailand government has put an investigation on the fall of this building.

Investigation report sought within 7 days
Thailand’s Home Minister Anutin Charanviku has sought the findings of the investigation within seven days. He said on Sunday that a committee has been formed to investigate and it is expected that the investigation will be completed in seven days. He said, ‘Thailand will soon find out why the building collapsed. It was just made and should have been designed to withstand the earthquake.

The Home Minister said, ‘The earthquake was of intensity of 7.7 but more than 95% of the buildings were faced. Only the state audit building collapsed. This building was new. Therefore, it should have faced earthquake. He said that the investigation will focus on architects, construction supervisors and builders. In this case, Thai and Chinese partners will have to share responsibility.

Chinese employees stole documents
During this time, four Chinese employees were also questioned for efforts to disappear the documents related to the construction of this building. 32 files were found from containers behind the collapsed building. The police have seized these documents. On the other hand, China is also in action and has sent an expert to inspect the collapse and find out the reason for its fall.

Earthquake in myanmar: On Friday (March 28) in Myanmar, the earth was drowned by hundreds of lives. Many areas of the country came under earthquake. The death toll has crossed one thousand, while the number of seriously injured people is also two and a half thousand. Hundreds of lives are still missing. In such a situation, it is feared that the death toll may cross the 10,000 mark.

Along with Myanmar, the land of Thailand was also shivering. However, there was not much loss of life there. There is information about the death of 10 people in Thailand. The earthquake saw terrible damage in the capital Bangkok. Gaganchumbhi buildings were seen to be dumped, which has created a possibility of their weakening. A large building under construction was also seen falling.

However, relief and rescue operations are going on in Myanmar. The bodies are coming out of the debris spread around. Countries around the world are sending relief materials. The Government of India has also sent 15 tonnes of relief material. There is also a big thing that even after this earthquake, there are many shocks back to back in Myanmar.

15 earthquakes within 10 hours
According to the US Geological Survey, a total of 15 earthquakes occurred in Myanmar within 10 hours on Friday. The first earthquake was of 7.7 intensity, which is given above the description of the catastrophe. Even after this, earthquakes of low and high intensity continued to occur. An earthquake also occurred of 6.4 magnitude. In such a situation, the people of Myanmar are currently living in the shadow of fear. However, this is not the first time when there were so many earthquakes in Myanmar. There is a long history of earthquake here.

Why do I come to Myanmar so much earthquake?
Myanmar is located on the border between two tectonic plates. This is called the saging area. Myanmar is one of the most seismically active countries in the world. However, large and disastrous earthquakes are rarely seen in the saging area.

Professor and earthquake expert Joanna Fore Walker at University College London told in a conversation with Reuters, ‘India plate and eurasia plates run in different directions. One north and the other south. It passes through the middle of Myanmar. The plates pass through each other horizontally at different speeds. This causes “strike slip” earthquakes which are usually less powerful than earthquakes in areas like Sumatra, where one plate slips under the other.

Why was Friday’s earthquake so devastating?
British geologist Roger Musus told Reuters that the low depth of the earthquake means that the loss would be more serious. The center of earthquake in Myanmar was at a depth of just 10 km. That is why the loss was more. He said, ‘Shockwaves are not destroyed when the earthquake is a center from the center of the earthquake to the surface. In such a situation, the buildings have to face the strength of shaking. This is what happened in Myanmar.
