New Delhi: With the further easing of Indo-Pak tensions, France has become the first country to revise its travel advisory which no longer urges its nationals to avoid non-essential travel to India.

The US and other key allies have dropped their month-long warning to their citizens to leave India but continue to advise them to defer travel to this country, contending that the risk of a conflict between the two neighbours "remains serious".

"In view of the evolution of the situation on the Indo-Pakistan border, travel to India can be again considered," the latest French advisory said.

"It is, however, advisable to avoid in any case, the border regions between India and Pakistan, from Jammu and Kashmir to Gujarat, and to be cautious in the other regions of north India," it said.

The French nationals and their families presently in India have been advised to keep themselves informed of the political situation in the region, it said.
