India issues travel advisory for riot-hit UK 

The advisory was issued following a wave of violent protests that have erupted across the UK, leading to significant disruptions and raising safety concerns for both residents and visitors…reports Asian Lite News

The High Commission of India in London on Tuesday released a travel advisory, advising Indian citizens to be vigilant when travelling to the UK due to recent protests and incidents of violence in the area.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the High Commission of India in London said, “Indian travellers would be aware of recent disturbances in some parts of the United Kingdom. The High Commission of India in London is closely monitoring the situation. Visitors from India are advised to stay vigilant and exercise due caution while travelling in the UK. It is advisable to follow local news and advisories issued by local security agencies, and to avoid areas where protests are underway.”

It further said that in case of an emergency, Indian travellers can contact the High Commission in London.

The advisory was issued following a wave of violent protests that have erupted across the UK, leading to significant disruptions and raising safety concerns for both residents and visitors.

Australia, Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia are some of the other countries that have issued warnings to citizens in or travelling to the UK.

In a statement Monday, the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “Demonstrations by far-Right and other extra-parliamentary groups in parts of the UK in recent weeks have been large, and in some instances been unruly. These disturbances have only been aggravated by the unfortunate deaths of the three girls and it has spawned an anti-immigration narrative, with particular emphasis on Muslim immigrants or persons of colour being targeted.”

Malaysia was the first country to react to the violence in the UK, issuing an advisory Sunday that urged its citizens to “stay away from protest areas, remain vigilant” and to follow updates and guidance from the local authorities.

Indonesia later joined Malaysia, with its embassy in London appealing to its citizens to remain vigilant and avoid the demonstrations.
