Air Mauritius apologizes for any difficulty this uncontrollable circumstance may have caused.On Tuesday, as it evaluated the damage caused by tropical storm Belal to the island country in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius lifted its maximum cyclone alert warning.

Three hours after declaring it was upping its alert to four, the highest level, the Mauritius Meteorological Services (MMS) declared that a "safety bulletin" was now in effect while Belal was departing Mauritius.Residents had been told to stay inside by the government on Monday, but on Tuesday, the order was lifted and the public was instead "strongly advised to maintain precaution and stay in safe places," according to a 0610 GMT bulletin from the MMS.There was a possibility of flooding in low-lying regions due to gusts of up to 80 km/h (50 miles per hour) and waves as high as seven meters (23 feet), according to the National Emergency Operations Command.

According to police, a motorcyclist who had been in a collision was discovered dead on a flooded highway. One death was verified by Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth in a statement on national television on Monday. Belal had already caused one fatality by battering the French overseas region of Reunion. There, the authorities declared that on Tuesday, the red warning would be canceled.Monday saw the closure of Mauritius' international airport until further notice. On Tuesday, Air Mauritius declared the cancellation of multiple flights, including ones to South Africa and France. Belal was around 210 kilometers (13 miles) southeast of Blue Bay, according to the MMS's statement.It is traveling at a general east-southeasterly speed of roughly 18 km/h away from our area. As a result, there is no longer a chance of cyclonic conditions over Mauritius, but there are still environmental hazards."
