The Centre on Friday allowed travel of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders who wish to come to India on account of family emergencies. This was stated in an official order.

The order said minor children born to Indian nationals abroad and holding OCI cards were allowed to come to India.

The government said couples where one spouse is an OCI cardholder, the other an Indian and they have permanent residence in India are allowed to come.

University students who are OCI cardholders but whose parents are Indian citizens living in India are also allowed to visit the country, the government order said. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind.
