Australia cautions its citizens on visiting India
Canberra/UNI: Australia on Tuesday asked its citizens to exercise a "high degree of caution" while travelling to India in view of the violent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in an advisory said demonstrations against the new Citizenship Amendment Act were taking place in parts of India and some had turned violent, and asked Australian citizens to exercise a "high degree of caution" while travelling to the country.
The government also said terrorist attacks could occur anywhere at any time which may be targeted towards foreigners and popular tourist areas.
"Avoid possible targets. Take official warnings seriously," it said.
The Australian advisory comes after the US, UK, Singapore, Canada and Israel cautioned their citizens against travelling to Northeast India in view of the violent protests against the CAA.
The advisory also asked Australian travellers not to visit Jammu and Kashmir and the India-Pakistan border.
