In the wake of unrest in Nepal, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Wednesday released a travel advisory, with helpline numbers, for the Indians living in Nepal.
The MEA asked the Indians in Nepal to defer travel there until the situation has stabilised. “Indian citizens presently in Nepal are advised to shelter in their current places of residence, avoid going out onto the streets and exercise all due caution,” the Ministry said in its advisory.
The Ministry asked them to follow the local safety advisories from the Nepal authorities as well as the Embassy of India in Kathmandu.
They were also asked to call the Indian Embassy, using the helpline numbers, which also have WhatsApp access, in case of any assistance.
Helpline numbers: +977 – 980 860 2881, +977 – 981 032 6134.
