TNA Tour of India Postponed

PWInsider have learned that the TNA Tour of India has been postponed. The official announcement that the tour of India has been postponed will likely come tomorrow.
Talents were told via email that there were logistical issues with the tour, specifically maintaining the safety of those traveling abroad. A number of those who have reached out to PWInsider have noted they were to fly to Paris, France and then change over for flights into India. TNA had 50-60 wrestlers and staffers heading over for the tour. Due to ongoing threats in this region TNA have been advised to not take this risk.
TNA has told the wrestlers they will be paid for the missed dates. Due to the late cancellation which will leave them without work.
TNA had been planning to tape a One Night Only PPV, to be broadcasted LIVE in India at the tour as well as material for Impact Wrestling.
Low ticket sales were not an issue as all the promotion and ticketing for the events were being done through TNA's television partner in India, Sony Six. TNA emails to talent indicate that the tour would be rescheduled for 2016 but offered no further information on when that might be.

Opinoinated View- I'm sure some fools will bash TNA for this. But look what happened in Paris changed things. I'm sure TNA thought they were going to be ok but than had to look at things again.

Also and this is minor compared to safety but what does this mean for the rest of the World Title Series. Given the Semi were to be in India.
