No need to quit India, US tells its citizens

Late May, the US had withdrawn non-essential staff and their families while advising Americans to defer travel plans to India when the border tension threatened a breakout of hostilities.

Non-essential staff will continue to remain out of the country, while Americans were advised to defer travel to India.

Those who cannot defer visiting India have been advised to carefully monitor the situation.

The state department has not entirely ruled out 'intensified military hostilities' between the two South Asian neighbours.

All warnings, however, continue to be in force in the case of Pakistan amidst 'concern of further terrorist actions against American citizens'.

On March 22, non-essential staff and family members of the US mission had been told to leave Pakistan following a terrorist attack on a church frequented by Americans, in Islamabad.

As recently as June 14, a car bomb outside the US consulate in Karachi had left nearly a dozen persons dead.
