SITUATION OF MALAYSIANS IN NORTHERN INDIA AMID FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the High Commission of Malaysia in New Delhi, is closely monitoring the situation in northern India following continuous monsoon rains which have caused severe flooding and landslides in several areas, including Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Arunachal Pradesh.

The High Commission has received reports of Malaysians stranded in Jammu as well as in Leh, Ladakh. The High Commission has successfully established contact with these individuals and is making arrangements for their departure via the earliest available flights.

In view of the worsening conditions, Malaysians are strongly advised to defer non-essential travel to the affected regions until further notice. Malaysians currently in these areas are urged to register their presence with the High Commission, follow the advice of local authorities, and take all necessary safety precautions.

For consular assistance, Malaysians may contact the High Commission at the following details:
