US advises against travel to Manipur, Jammu and Kashmir, India-Pakistan border, and Naxalite-affected areas in India.
The United States has asked its nationals not to travel to Manipur, Jammu and Kashmir, the India-Pakistan border, and parts of central and eastern parts of the country where Naxalites are active.
In a revised travel advisory for India, the State Department said it has updated to reflect information on the northeastern States.

"Exercise increased caution in India due to crime and terrorism. Some areas have increased risk,” it said.
Overall India has been placed at Level 2. But several parts of the country have been placed on Level 4: Jammu and Kashmir, India-Pak border, Manipur and parts of Central and East India.
"Do not travel to: The union territory of Jammu and Kashmir (except the eastern Ladakh region and its capital, Leh) due to terrorism and civil unrest; within 10 km of the India-Pakistan border due to the potential for armed conflict; portions of Central and East India due to terrorism and Manipur due to violence and crime,” said the State Department.
In addition, it recommended Americans to reconsider travel to the northeastern states due to terrorism and violence.
