According to regional government authorities, a heightened threat of terrorist attacks, civil unrest, and ongoing security concerns exist in Jammu and Kashmir State, especially in Srinagar, in response to the revocation by India of constitutional guarantees of Kashmiri autonomy. The presence of tens of thousands of heavily armed security forces should be expected and a state of emergency is in effect, with restrictions on movement and assembly imposed until further notice. Internet services have been shut down. Extreme vigilance is recommended. Travelers are advised to reconsider travel (or avoid nonessential travel) to Jammu and Kashmir State. Travelers should maintain a high level of security awareness, follow the advice of local authorities, and monitor the situation through local media and embassy communications.
