India has cancelled the visa of Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng just hours before her scheduled flight to Hyderabad for the Telangana government’s Bharat Summit, scheduled for November 12–14. Lyng, who had received a visa and political clearance, was invited to speak on media and press freedom. She said the Indian Embassy in Oslo informed her of the cancellation approximately ten minutes before she left for the airport. She suspects the decision may be linked to her earlier questioning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Oslo in May 2026. Indian authorities have not publicly explained the cancellation.
