Victorian Premier John Brumby, who will arrive in India this week, has cancelled his trip to Mumbai following a travel advisory from the Australian Government regarding possible terror attacks in the city.
Brumby will now spend more time in New Delhi after omitting Mumbai from his itinerary for Wednesday and Thursday.
“Credible information indicates that terrorists may be planning further attacks in Mumbai, including places frequented by tourists, in September or October 2009,” the travel advisory issued by Australia’s Foreign Affairs department on Friday had warned.
Brumby’s trip follows Deputy PM and Education Minister Julia Gillard’s visit to India.
