Terrorism has affected not only India but also many other countries. This terrorist usually target places where people are in abundance in order to make maximum damage to life and property such as train stations, worship places, hotels, stadiums, local markets etc.
India visa travelers should watch out for safety provisions in place of their visit. Do not touch any unattended luggage in fact report to police immediately. Make sure you are aware of protection concern in the surrounding area of important government set up and tourist spots. India visa tourists need to be alert at public places like airports, stations, markets, malls, public transport like bus, tram, local train or even metros. Spend some additional time for security checking before you are about to board a flight.
Terrorist attacks are recurrent in areas like Jammu and Kashmir but not Ladakh along with the northeastern area. There is a 30-year-old rebellion group in Assam that causes repeated bomb blasting and casual slaughter. Brutal revolutionary groups are very vigorous especially in countryside areas of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
Be cautious of road offense and get precautionary measures like:
• Bag snatching is on a toll in India so it is important for India visa tourists to protect their passport and credit cards especially in bus and trains.
• Always keep a Xerox of passport, India visa and your flight ticket along with their original copies while travelling.
• Watch out the food and beverages you consume. People drug the tourists and then rob them of their valuables. Be alert.
• Carry your own luggage and never leave it here and there.
• There are people who may trick and charge you hundreds of pounds and dollars in lieu of antic jewelry, which is actually worthless. This happens mostly in Jaipur and Agra.
• Avoid going out alone at night or to lonely places.
