Don't travel to Pakistan
India tells its citizens:
India tells its citizens
In light of the numerous militant attacks on military, police and civilian targets in Pakistan, the Indian government today advised people to refrain from traveling to the country.
Some have been suicide bombs by attackers on foot or vehicles while others were a band of gunmen raiders. There seems to be a collapse of governance in the country and the chasm between the government and the people seems to be growing by the day. According to some, Pakistan has started a war that has consumed its economy, national security, and has torn apart its social fabric.
"The government of India is of the view that it is not advisable for the Indian pilgrims to visit Pakistan in the prevailing situation when frequent terrorist attacks are taking place in Punjab province of Pakistan, where all gurudwaras are situated," said a statement issued by the home ministry. "Accordingly, the government advises all Indian citizens to avoid undertaking any visit to Pakistan for this purpose, till the security situation in Pakistan improves."
The attacks started on October 5th when the offices of the UN World Food Programme in Islamabad were bombed. On October 10th 10 terrorists in military uniform laid siege to the Pakistan Army's General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, close to the capital. In the harrowing 22 hour standoff 19 people were killed. The twin blasts at Islamabad's Islamic University on October 20 led to closing down all schools, colleges and other training institutions in the country.As of now more than 200 people have been killed as a result of militant violence. The civil unrest has spilled into many parts, giving rise to fear psychosis among citizens.
