Which country took part with India in the inaugural tri-services HADR exercise Rahat Mitra?
- A.Bangladesh
- B.Myanmar
- C.Sri Lanka
- D.Thailand
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Myanmar. Rahat Mitra was the first bilateral tri-services exercise on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief between the defence forces of India and Myanmar, held on 5 and 6 November 2026 and concluded at Chennai. Personnel of the Indian Army, the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force worked with a delegation of the Myanmar Defence Forces, and a Myanmar officer, Commodore Aung Niang Win, flew on an Indian Air Force Advanced Light Helicopter during the casualty evacuation drill. Bangladesh is wrong because no Bangladeshi contingent was part of this drill, which was strictly bilateral. Sri Lanka is wrong for the same reason: the exercise named only the two defence establishments of India and Myanmar. Thailand is wrong as well, since the Ministry of Defence described the drill as an India-Myanmar engagement aimed at bilateral defence cooperation and better regional disaster preparedness.
