New Delhi: Canada has updated its travel advisory on Tuesday urging its citizens to exercise ‘high degree of caution’ while travelling to India amid the escalating tensions between the two nations. “Avoid all travel to the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir due to unpredictable security situation. There is a threat of terrorism, militancy, civil unrest and kidnapping. This advisory excludes travelling to or within the Union Territory of Ladakh,” Canada said.
Earlier today, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau alleged that Indian govt was involved in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India swiftly rejected the allegations, describing them as “motivated” and “absurd.”
