EU Lifts Assam Travel Advisory; Restrictions Remain in Charaideo, Tinsukia, Sivasagar

Summary

The European Union has lifted its travel advisory for most of Assam, allowing citizens of its twenty-seven member states to travel freely across the state, except for the districts of Charaideo, Tinsukia, and Sivasagar. Travel restrictions now apply only to these three districts, which remain under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. This move is expected to increase tourist arrivals from Europe and boost tourism, investment, and people-to-people exchanges in Assam.
