Perhaps we do not fully understand the effect of earthquake when seen from the earth, but when these incidents are imprisoned from the sky, their real size and reality are revealed.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has recently released the satellite image of the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, which not only reflects the widespread damage caused by the earthquake, but also shows how this natural disaster destroys cities, historical sites and life completely. Everyone will be surprised to see these high-rugism photos, because it is not just the figures, but a living evidence of this terrible disaster.

ISRO’s images taken from Cartosat-3 satellite

Cartosat-3 satellite of ISRO has taken pictures of these earthquakes from a height of 500 km. The specialty of its picture is that this satellite can take high-employment images with less than 50 centimeters. It can be clearly seen in these images how the earthquake has injured the major cities and historical sites of Myanmar.

What was the loss?

ISRO reported in its report that the earthquake caused tremendous havoc in Myanmar’s second largest city Mandalay. The major heritage sites here, such as Sky Villas, Mahamuni Pagoda, and Ananda Pagoda have either suffered or partially damaged. Ananda Pagoda, which is a historic site recognized by UNESCO, has also become very bad.

The earthquake has also caused heavy damage to many monasteries and buildings in Sagaiing city of Myanmar. In addition, cracks have also appeared in the surrounding rivers in satellite paintings, indicating the soil being unstable during the earthquake. It is called liquidfaction, in which the land turns into mud with water and also damages buildings.

Causes of earthquake, collision of Indian and Eurasian plates

According to ISRO scientists, the Myanmar region is located on the border of Indian and Eurasian plates and earthquakes often occur here. The Indian plate moves about 5 cm north every year, causing seismic tension to accumulate. When this tension is suddenly released, big earthquakes occur, as seen in Myanmar.

Number of dead and difficulties of relief work

In this earthquake of Myanmar, 2,056 people have lost their lives and more than 3,900 people have been injured. About 270 people are still missing. After the earthquake, there are huge difficulties during relief work in Myanmar, as the ongoing civil war in the country has hindered helping.

Importance of ISRO satellite images

This satellite images of ISRO not only shows the damage caused by earthquakes in Myanmar, but also shows how natural disasters can be analyzed with the help of satellite -based technology. This can prove to be an important tool for disaster management, which will help run relief tasks in future quickly and effectively.

In this way the images sent by the satellite of ISRO have given a new vision to the world how we can get accurate information about natural disasters by using technology and quickly assess the situation after disaster.

Myanmar earthquake: The smell of rotting bodies spread to the air on Sunday (March 30) in Mandalay, the second largest city of Myanmar. Rescue teams are working day and night to find people buried under the rubble. The 7.7 magnitude earthquake that came two days ago shook the entire area. More than 1,700 people were killed in this earthquake and countless people are still buried in the debris.

The first earthquake occurred on Friday afternoon, which was near Mandalay. After this, the second blow of 6.7 magnitude was felt. These tremors made many buildings in Mandalay city. Many bridges fell and came to Jarar in the roads. The effect of the earthquake was not limited to Myanmar, but it reached the neighboring Thailand, where 17 people died in Bangkok.

Panic and disappointment in Mandalay
Most of the residents of Mandalay passed on the streets on Friday night, as staying in the house after the earthquake became insecure. People were constantly afraid of afteroxic, causing unstable buildings to fall anytime. On Sunday too, another shock of 5.1 intensity came, due to which people engaged in relief and rescue operations also came in panic.

Satellite image and infrastructure destruction
Myanmar’s satellite image suggests that the earthquake has severely damaged several important infrastructure including airports, highways and bridges, causing relief and obstacles in rescue operations. In particular, the Napatavat International Airport was badly damaged by the earthquake, due to which rescue teams coming from India and China could not be directly transported to Mandalay and other affected cities. The Inva Bridge also collapsed, causing difficulties in going across the Iravadi river.

Relief and rescue operations obstacles
Relief efforts are facing difficulty due to disturbances in bad roads, fallen bridges and communication system. Also, the ongoing civil war in the country has also affected relief work. Local residents are trying to remove debris at 41 ° C temperature without any heavy equipment.

Fear of increasing death toll
Myanmar’s ruling Junta said on Sunday that 1,700 people have been confirmed so far, while more than 3,400 were injured and 300 people are missing. However, the correct scale of disaster is not yet clear. It is estimated that the death toll may increase further. Junta chief Min Aung Holiing has appealed for international assistance, which is usually rare in Myanmar. Earlier military governments rejected foreign aid even after major natural disasters.

There is also havoc in Thailand
The impact of the earthquake reached Thailand, where a 30 -storeyed building collapsed in Bangkok on Friday. Till Sunday, the rescue team recovered bodies of 17 people from the rubble, while 83 people are still missing. 32 people have been injured, many of which are said to be critical.
