U.S. tells its citizens to be
alert during India visit
Washington:
Terror groups may be planning attacks in
India,
the U.S. State Department has warned in its latest advisory and
asked its nationals to be alert while visiting the country in the
coming months.
“The Department
of State alerts U.S. citizens to the ongoing security concerns in
India.
The U.S. government continues to receive information that terrorist
groups may be planning attacks in India,” the State Department said.
Cautioning that
the Mumbai attacks were a vivid reminder that hotels, markets and
other public places are especially targeted by terror groups, the
State Department asked its nationals to always practise good
security, maintain a heightened situational awareness and a low
profile.
“U.S. citizens
are advised to monitor local news reports and consider the level of
security present when visiting public places, including religious
sites, or choosing hotels, restaurants, entertainment and recreation
venues,” it said.
A month back
also, the U.S., apprehending a Mumbai-type terrorist attack in
various parts of India, had alerted its citizens to be cautious
during their visit.
