The Indian Embassy in Paris has issued a safety advisory for Indian nationals living in France and those planning to travel there, urging them to remain vigilant as violent protests and clashes continue in parts of the country.
The embassy has advised Indians to avoid large gatherings, crowded places and areas where demonstrations are taking place. It has also asked them to follow instructions issued by French authorities, particularly in locations affected by localised curfews.
The advisory, issued on Wednesday evening, October 21, cited recent developments and restrictions imposed in some parts of France. It urged Indian nationals to exercise caution and remain aware of the evolving situation.
The protests have been linked to public anger over the cost of living and rising fuel prices, with demonstrations reported in Paris and other areas. Clashes and incidents of violence have raised concerns about public safety and possible disruptions to daily activities.
Indian nationals in France have been encouraged to monitor local updates, avoid protest routes and comply with any safety measures announced by authorities. Travellers planning to visit the country should check conditions in their intended destinations before setting out and remain alert to changes in transport services or movement restrictions.
The advisory is intended to help Indian citizens reduce risks while the situation remains uncertain. The embassy has stressed the importance of caution, particularly in areas where demonstrations or curfews are in effect.
