India has issued a safety advisory for its citizens currently living in or travelling to Mexico following reports of ongoing clashes and heightened security operations in several parts of the country. The Indian Embassy in Mexico City released the advisory on Sunday, urging Indian nationals to remain vigilant and strictly follow local safety guidelines.
In its official communication, the embassy advised Indians in specific high-risk regions to shelter in place until further notice. These areas include Jalisco state, particularly Puerto Vallarta, Chapala, and Guadalajara, as well as parts of Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero, and Nuevo Leon. The warning comes in response to continued law enforcement activity, road blockages, and reports of criminal incidents in these regions.
The embassy emphasized that the safety of Indian citizens is the top priority and urged nationals to avoid areas where police or security forces are conducting operations. Citizens have been advised to stay aware of their surroundings and minimize any non-essential travel outside their residences. The advisory also recommends closely monitoring local media for verified updates and complying fully with directions issued by Mexican authorities.
As part of its safety checklist, the mission has asked Indian nationals to avoid crowded public places and maintain regular contact with family members in India, updating them about their location and well-being through phone calls, messages, or social media. In case of any emergency situation, citizens have been instructed to immediately dial 911 for local assistance.
To support the Indian community, the embassy has provided an emergency contact number, +52 55 4847 7539, for queries or urgent help. Officials said they are closely monitoring developments and will issue further updates if the situation changes.
The advisory serves as a precautionary measure amid the evolving security situation in parts of Mexico, with authorities urging Indians abroad to prioritize personal safety and remain cautious until normalcy returns.
