The US has issued a new travel advisory for India, maintaining guidance for solo female travellers and significantly escalating the severity of its warnings in light of ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur, recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and issues at the borders with Pakistan and Nepal.
The update, issued by the State Department, includes a greater emphasis on the risks of violent crime, sexual violence, regional unrest, and immigration issues at land borders, particularly for solo women travellers and those entering India from neighbouring countries like Nepal.
