India Issues Advisory For Its Citizens, Students In Canada

The Ministry of External Affairs released an advisory for Indian nationals and students living in Canada or travelling to the nation. According to the advisory, the ministry urged to exercise utmost caution.

The ministry in a statement said, "In view of growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada, all Indian nationals there and those contemplating travel are urged to exercise utmost caution."

"Recently, threats have particularly targeted Indian diplomats and sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda. Indian nationals are therefore advised to avoid travelling to regions and potential venues in Canada that have seen such incidents," the advisory added.

Given the deteriorating security environment in Canada, the ministry advised Indian students in particular to exercise extreme caution and remain vigilant.

Earlier, Canada issued the same type of advisory for its citizens calling for a 'high degree of caution' during travel to India.
