Due to recent civil disturbances in some parts of the United Kingdom, the High Commission of India in London has been forced to release a travel warrant for Indian citizens intending to visit the country. This advisory is issued in relation to increasing tension and disturbances associated with the far-right riots and anti-immigration demonstrations sparked by a stabbing rampage in Southport that claimed three children’s lives.
These protests and violent confrontations in several cities across the United Kingdom have been instigated by the unknown identity of the attacker disseminated in the media. In the advisory, the Indian travelers have discouraged from being carefree in this climate they describe to be volatile in the United Kingdom.
Indians are encouraged to read local papers and be vigilant with the security measures provided by the local embassies. It is advised that one stays away from areas that are likely to go through protests or any other form of social disturbance for one’s own safety. The travelers should be extra careful, especially in the areas of conflict and where disturbances are being experienced.
Thus, Indians, in case of any urgent situation, are advised to contact the High Commission of India, India House Aldwych, London, W. C 2B 4NA. The High Commission is ready to explain the situation to people and help them avoid danger.
