'Avoid deserted areas in odd hours': Indian embassy warns citizens in Ireland after violent attacks

In the wake of violent attacks on Indian nationals in Ireland, the Indian embassy in Dublin on Friday warned citizens to avoid deserted areas.

Pointing out the rise of physical assault cases against Indian citizens in the European nation, the embassy in Dublin said it is in touch with the authorities concerned. 

"At the same time, all Indian citizens in Ireland are advised to take reasonable precautions for their personal security and avoid deserted areas, especially in odd hours," the embassy stated.

It also posted emergency contact details for Indian citizens. They can call on 08994 23734 or email at cons.dublin@mea.gov.in.

Just a day ago, an businessman of Indian origin, Santosh Yadav,  posted on LinkedIn about an "unprovoked racist" attack he face in the country. He was left bleeding with a cheekbone fracture after six teens allegedly thrashed him near his apartment in Dublin.

On July 19, an Indian man, 40, working at Amazon was stabbed in the face in Tallaght, Dublin. He has come to Ireland just three weak before the attack.
