US,
Canada issue travel alerts for high level of vigilance New
Delhi: The US and Canada have issued travel alerts to its citizens visiting
India, warning them of possible terrorist attacks and urging to maintain a high
level of vigilance ahead of the Independence Day. "American citizens are advised
to be alert to the continued possibility of terrorist attacks. There is a continuing
threat from terrorism throughout India and the upcoming series of major holidays
could provide terrorist groups an opportunity or pretext to stage an attack,"
a travel alert on the US Embassy website said. Meanwhile, Canadian officials have
urged their citizens to avoid crowded places, and to take appropriate steps to
increase their personal security. "Canadians travelling to India should be particularly
vigilant in the lead up to and on days of national significance, as militants
have used such occasions to mount attacks in the past," a travel alert on the
Canadian Embassy website said. "In the lead up to Independence Day, the Indian
government has increased security throughout the country, particularly in the
cities of Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad," it added. -August
