Riots In UK: Warns Indians Travelling To UK

The High Commission of India in London issued a UK travel advisory on Tuesday, on note of the riots in UK. It urges Indians travelling to UK to be careful and alert. This warning comes after the UK saw its worst rioting in many years. The riots included attacks on immigrants, especially Muslims.

Key Highlights of the Travel Advisory for Indians travelling to UK include:

Stay informed about local news
Avoid protest areas
Remain alert
Be extra careful

A knife attack on three girls in Southport last week triggered the riot. Groups of Anti-Immigrants and Anti-Muslims used this event to cause trouble. They spread false stories online, saying the attacker was a Muslim extremist. This led to more violence.

However, the British Police confirmed that these claims are wrong. They confirmed the suspect was born in the UK and is Christian, not Muslim.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called it the “pure violence” and not protest. He has vowed to enforce the law against those attacking Muslims.

Interior Minister Yvette Cooper said the riots were an overreaction leading to racial hatred. She criticized attacks on police and called the riots unjustified. The protests involving hundreds of people, has resulted in looting, attacks on mosques, violence against minorities, and property damage, with some incidents captured on social media.

The UK is facing its worst riots since 2010, with violence spreading to big cities like Liverpool, Manchester, and Leeds. Police have arrested 378 people so far. The situation has gotten worse because of false information being spread and stirring up more trouble. These groups are using the protest to create more conflict.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
