BHUABNESWAR:
The US Consulate General Hyderabad encouraged all American citizens in Andhra
Pradesh (AP) and Odisha to sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program
(STEP) at https://step.state.gov/step/
so that enrolled citizens could stay safe, connected and informed while
traveling or living in India.
“Many children and adults travel to AP and
Odisha every year and encounter no difficulties, but there are times when we
need to reach you to let you know what security or emergency situations may be
happening in this region,” said the US Consulate General office, adding, “By
informing us about your presence in India, you help us make contact when you
might need us the most.”
In
the case of minor, guardian of the US citizen minor could enroll using their
information from their US passport. Signing up is voluntary and costs nothing,
the office sources said. For more information the citizens could visit STEP
website and the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AmericanCitizenServicesIndia.
One of the highest priorities of the US Mission in
India is the protection of US citizens- minors and adults- who travel and live
overseas, informed the US Consulate General Hyderabad.
