Those who are still stranded need to reach out to the high commissioner.
Zulkhis Abdul Jalil came to know in time that a special flight would depart New Delhi for Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday night.
Luckily for him and many Malaysians stranded in places like Delhi, Jaipur and Amritsar, the High Commission was registering passengers to take a special AirAsia flight. Airlines have stopped scheduled flights between India and Malaysia since Tuesday afternoon after an Indian government order announced new restrictions on international travel as part of the country's tightening measures to combat the Covid-19 outbreak.
The Malaysian budget carrier also operated an evacuation flight from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh state to Kuala Lumpur with 24 passengers. "No one could foresee the coronavirus situation. We will try to help Malaysian citizens as much as we can. We have implemented the Covid-19 guidelines from Foreign Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and the Malaysian government," Hidayat said.
