WASHINGTON: US denied issuing any travel advisory for Pakistan amid ongoing political turmoil in country. Refuting false “Travel warning” for Pakistan, US State Department’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs clarified that it had not issued any travel advisory for country in June.

A fake travel warning was circulating on social media platforms for past couple of days, urging US citizens of Pakistan origin to avoid using National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) while travelling to Pakistan. “If you are travelling to Pakistan from US, Canada, you should not use NICOP. Instead get Pakistani visa on US/Canada passport,” read fake travel warning.

“We’re aware of fake travel warning circulating.” It added. “As reminder, all our alerts and messages to US citizens in Pakistan are posted here [US Embassy’s website].”
