Beijing: China has issued a travel advisory to its nationals visiting India, the first such warning after the Dokalam standoff, warning them about denial of visas to visit “restricted areas” like the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The Chinese Embassy in India issued the advisory, the third in four months, for Chinese tourists in India.
The warning was posted on the embassy’s website on Tuesday, and detailed several situations the embassy handled recently in which Chinese tourists were denied entry or investigated while travelling in India, state-run Global Times reported Thursday.
“Some Chinese citizens visited Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which are restricted areas for foreigners, without gaining permits from India. Some tourists were asked to return upon arrival. Some were even arrested or investigated,” the statement read.
