Attacks in Mumbai India
On 26 and 27 November, terrorists attacked at least ten locations in Mumbai, including hotels, the train station and near the domestic airport terminal using automatic weapons and grenades. The Australian Government unreservedly condemns these appalling attacks on innocent people.
Australians are urged to reconsider their need to travel to India and avoid travel to Mumbai at this time. Australians in Mumbai should remain in a safe location, monitor the media for information about new safety and security risks and follow the advice of local authorities.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has set up a hotline for Australians with concerns for family or friends in Mumbai on 1800 002 214. Australians overseas requiring consular assistance should contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on +61 2 6261 3305. See also the travel advice for India.
The Australian Government is providing support to Australians adversely affected by the terrorist attacks in Mumbai through Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payments (AGDRP). Further information is available on 1800 146 713 and at www.disasterassist.gov.au
