Port Blair, Dec 18: The Director General of Police today said that instances have come to notice where foreign nationals wish to access the southern group of Islands, due to a misconception that Campbell Bay is open for foreign Tourists.
“It is brought to the notice of general public, Hotel/Resort owners and Tour Operators that as per Circular No. 215 of Ministry of Home Affairs, (Foreigner Division), the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, being the restricted area under the Foreigners (Restricted Area) Order, 1963, no foreigner can enter or stay in the Southern Islands without obtaining a permit from the competent authority,” the DGP said in a press release.
