The Australian government today issued a new travel advisory for its citizens in India following the unrest that has gripped the state of Tamil Nadu after the conviction and sentencing of its Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in a corruption case. Issuing the advisory, the government said, "Following the conviction and sentencing of the Tamil Nadu chief minister, we recommend that Australians in Chennai remain indoors over the weekend of September 27-28 due to increased tensions. In Bangalore, where the sentence was handed down, protests have resulted in police imposing prohibition orders in an area of 5km radius from the court and jail. You should avoid this area, be vigilant, and keep abreast of latest developments," it said.
