New Delhi: Indian diplomats are working with EU member states to ensure that citizens vaccinated with Covishield and Covaxin do not face travel issues.

India has conveyed to the EU it will institute a reciprocal policy for recognition of the EU digital Covid certificate. If and when Covishield and Covaxin are included in the EU digital Covid certificate that comes into effect from July 1, India has offered to reciprocally exempt the EU states from mandatory quarantine. Germany has decided to permit entry to Indians vaccinated with Covishield. — TNS

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. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
