Following events overnight, the University will be closely monitoring developments and UK government travel advice in relation to the rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
This is an evolving situation and at the moment there are no restrictions on travel to Delhi. We will align with any updates to government travel advice and, as always, will prioritise the safety and wellbeing of our people.
Clarity Travel Ltd will be in touch directly with any colleagues whose upcoming travel arrangements are affected by changes to government advice. Please also make your line manager aware of any planned travel that may be affected.
