Washington, July 20: US Assistant Secretary of State Christina Rocca has said that the travel warning to India issued by the State department was under constant review.
During a congressional hearing on Thursday, Rocca assured
the co-Chariman of the congressional caucus on India and
Indian Americans Sen. Ed Royce that the travel warning to
India was under constant review.
Royce had urged the administration to reassess its warning saying it was adversely affecting commerce between US and India.
He said that promoting trade and investment between the United States and India is a primary goal of the India caucus.

He said that promoting trade and investment between the United States and India is a primary goal of the India caucus.
This objective is harmed by perceptions that India is on
the brink of conflict, he said.
"Protecting Americans is our government`s paramount
concern, and that means having the most accurate travel
reports possible. Given the growing US-India relationship I am
pleased that the state department has India`s travel
recommendation status under constant review," he added.
