‘Indian students safe in US…’: Ambassador Eric Garcetti amid concerns

"We care so deeply for the well-being of Indian students in the US. We want parents to know that their children are our children when they are in United States. And, there is a wealth of resources that can help students prepare...in the US, whether it is mental health... and resources for that being far away for home, parents and families," he told PTI.

While acknowledging these unfortunate deaths over the past few months, the ambassador affirmed that the "US is a safe country".

Garcetti noted that in a new country, ensuring public safety often requires common sense, such as knowing which neighborhoods to avoid and when. Additionally, he stressed the availability of resources like campus security and local law enforcement, highlighting that students may not be aware of these options due to their unfamiliarity with the country.
