'REMAIN VIGILANT AND EXERCISE CAUTION': CANADA UPDATES TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR INDIA

'Remain vigilant and exercise caution': Canada updates travel advisory for IndiaAmid a diplomatic row with India, Canada has updated travel advisory for its citizens in India asking them to "stay vigilant and exercise caution".In the advisory, the Canadian government highlighted the recent developments in both Canada and India, which have given rise to calls for protests and a surge in negative sentiment towards Canada on social media platforms. "In the context of recent developments in Canada and in India, there are calls for protests and some negative sentiment towards Canada on social media. Please remain vigilant and exercise caution," read the advisory.The diplomatic tensions between India and Canada escalated following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegation of "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil on June 18. It's noteworthy that India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in the year 2020.India responded vehemently to these allegations, denouncing them as "absurd" and "motivated." As a retaliatory measure, India expelled a senior Canadian diplomat, mirroring Canada's expulsion of an Indian official over the same case.India also issued a similar advisory to its nationals and students residing in Canada last week. Additionally, India announced its decision to halt the issuance of all categories of visas, including e-visas, for Canadian nationals.
