U.S. Consulate General Chennai issued the following Warden Message on August 26, 2007:
At approximately 8:00 P.M. on August 25th two explosions in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh killed over 40 people and injured many more. There are unconfirmed reports that additional explosive devices were found at other locations in Hyderabad. Security has been heightened in cities throughout India, including Chennai and Bangalore, especially at railway stations and airports. While there is no reason to believe American citizens were targeted, the Consulate urges U.S. citizens in Hyderabad and other areas in southern India to exercise caution in their travels and activities.
The Consulate wishes to remind American citizens that demonstrations in India can occur or escalate spontaneously and pose risks to travelers’ personal safety. American citizens also should monitor news reports regarding the location of any other disturbances that may occur.
The Consulate strongly recommends that all American citizens in India register their presence and check for the latest security information on the Department’s Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov. Those receiving this message are encouraged to urge their U.S. citizen friends and family members in India to register online at www.travel.state.gov.
