Lisbon, (Portugal), May 17

British vacationers have started arriving in Portugal after the UK and Portuguese governments eased their Covid-19 pandemic travel restrictions. A flight from Manchester, England, arrived early Monday in Faro, the main city in Portugal’s southern Algarve tourist region. More than 5,000 British visitors were expected to arrive in Portugal on 17 flights during the day. That has brightened the outlook for Portugal’s crucial tourism sector, which relies heavily on the UK market and which shut down for most of the past year. The UK government has put Portugal and 11 other countries on a so-called green list of low-risk territories. British people returning home from those areas do no need to go into quarantine.AP

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).
