Attacks are likely in Jammu and Kashmir as well as in Delhi. All precautions were in place and there was no need to panic, the Home Ministry further said.
Reacting to the fresh warning, the Indian Home Ministry said that it was aware of these terror threats, which are not specific to Delhi. However, the ministry said that the terror warning was related to increased infiltration attempts in Jammu and Kashmir.
In the latest alert issued to its citizens the US says, "There are increased indications that terrorists are planning imminent attacks in New Delhi. Terrorists have targeted places in the past where US citizens or Westerners are known to congregate or visit. Markets, such as those located in Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place, Greater Kailash, Karol Bagh, Mehrauli, and Sarojini Nagar, can be especially attractive targets for terrorist groups".
"If you are in an area where unattended packages are spotted, you should immediately exit the area and report the packages to authorities," the alert adds.
Americans traveling or residing in India are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance, remain aware of their surroundings, monitor local news reports, and take appropriate steps to bolster their personal security.
