Ik heb even gekeken, maar er staat extra waakzaamheid betrachten in de rurale gebieden van West Bengal. Laat calcutta met zijn 15 miljoen inwoners (de derde stad van India) nu toevallig niet in een ruraal gebied liggen!
Ik wil niet meteen zeggen allemaal flauwekul, maar in ieder geval Calcutta is niet gevaarlijker dan Bombay, Madras of Delhi.
Beetje off-topic, hier is het reisadvies voor Nederland voor usa citizens:
THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: Since 2004, Dutch government security measures have been in place in response to concerns about terrorist activity in the Netherlands by international and domestic extremist groups. The Dutch Government has determined the current terrorist threat level to be “limited.” According to the Dutch National Coordinator for Counterterrorism, this level, the second-lowest of four levels, means that “the chance of an attack against the Netherlands is small, but that it certainly cannot be entirely excluded.”
We encourage you to keep up with the latest news while in the Netherlands and to take steps to increase your security awareness. As with other countries in the Schengen area, the Netherlands’ open borders with its European neighbors allow for the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity.
Demonstrations are commonplace in the Netherlands and may range in number from a few demonstrators to several thousand. Prior police notice is required for public demonstrations, and police oversight is routinely provided. Nonetheless, even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. We urge you to avoid areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if near one.
