The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan would like to bring the following message to the attention of American citizens residing or traveling in Tajikistan:
Warden Message – May 22, 2009
Due to increased activities by the Tajik Government security, military, and law enforcement agencies, the U.S. Embassy advises American Citizens to exercise extreme caution when traveling in areas east of Dushanbe past Vakhdat. The U.S. Embassy recommends American Citizens against travel to the town and immediate surrounding area of Tavildara as Tajik agencies are engaged in a law enforcement action in that area. Additionally, police have set up checkpoints in various places throughout the country. There have also been significant disruptions to travel because of mudslides and rockslides following heavy rains.
