In its first statement after the United States bombed Venezuela and captured its President Nicholas Maduro, India has advised its citizens to avoid all “non-essential travel” to the country. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), late on Saturday (Jan 3), issued the advisory and urged citizens in the country to maintain “extreme caution.” Indians in Venezuela have also been advised to restrict their movements, and remain in contact with Embassy of India in Caracas. New Delhi has not yet commented on the evolving situation, beyond the advisory for citizens.
