The UK government on Tuesday updated its travel advisory for India to warn British nationals against carrying or operating satellite phones in India without a licence.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) reviewed the “Safety and Security” section of its advisory for India to flag that Britons have been arrested for bringing in such devices illegally to India.
It highlighted that prior permission from the Department of Telecommunication was also required for listening devices and “powerful cameras or binoculars” and that advice around such equipment can be sought from the High Commission of India in London.
