Travel advisories are periodically issued by countries based on their “assessment of various factors”, and “we have noted” that the US has updated the travel advisory for India, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Thursday.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said this in response to a query on the advisory issued recently by the US for its citizens travelling to India.
In the June 16 advisory, the US urged its citizens to exercise “increased caution” due to crime and rape, and advised them not to travel to certain parts of central and eastern parts of the country due to terrorism.
The travel advisory also states that “rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in India” and violent crimes, including sexual assault, happen at tourist sites and other locations.
