Stranded Malaysians in Kashmir used chili sauce to attract rescuers


SEPANG: Fifteen Malaysians who flew in here Monday from India resorted to using chili sauce to write the word 'Malaysia' on a towel on a hotel rooftop to attract help while stranded in Jammu & Kashmir due the massive floods that hit the Himalayan state.

A member of the group, Farisha Elaina Abdul Hanif, said she and 15 family members and friends, were forced to sit on the roof of the four-storey hotel in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu & Kashmir, in the cold for several hours on Sept 7 to escape the floods.
