After the Pahalgam incident, the US issues a travel alert for Occupied Kashmir.
The United States has reaffirmed its “Do Not Travel” warning for India’s Jammu and Kashmir area following an incident in Pahalgam on April 22 that left several people dead.
Local media reports that the attack has put numerous Indian towns on high alert and necessitated increased security measures. Citing the ongoing threat of terrorism and civil upheaval, especially in regions near the Line of Control (LoC) separating India and Pakistan, the U.S. Department of State has responded by advising Americans to refrain from visiting Jammu and Kashmir.
The warning further emphasizes that because to persistent security concerns, U.S. government employees are not allowed to visit the area. Well-known tourist locations in the Kashmir Valley, including Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam, are regarded as high-risk regions.
The Indian government also places limitations on international visitors who want to visit specific locations close to the Line of Control, according to the U.S. State Department. For the most recent advice and safety details, travelers are advised to visit the official U.S. travel advisory website.
