The Canadian High Command has clarified that no new advisory has been issued – as suggested by sections of the Indian media – in response to India’s advisory on rising hate crimes and “anti-India activities” in the North American country. It said a recent revision was only related to monkeypox and Covid.
A spokesperson from the Canadian High Command reportedly said that no new updates under the “risk levels” and “safety and security” sections were made to its travel advisory for citizens travelling to India. The information has been “in place for a long period of time”, the spokesperson said. “The update made on September 27 was related only to the ‘health’ section and more specifically to the ‘Covid-19 and international travel’ and ‘monkeypox: advice for travellers’ sub-sections.”
