The Maharashtra Tourism Department, Disaster Management Department, and district administrations are working together to ensure timely help for Maharashtra residents abroad. Citizens are urged not to panic, contact official authorities for assistance, and avoid spreading unverified information or rumors. The government is coordinating with the Central Government, Indian Embassy, and Nepal authorities to ensure the safety of stranded tourists.
