A day after India introduced certain travel guidelines for UK nationals arriving in India, the UK has now said that it is engaging with Government of India on the issue.

India brought in these guidelines in response to UK not approving Covishield as a Covid-19 vaccine and imposing travel restrictions on passengers from India even if they were fully vaccinated.
