T&T, India in friction over COVID vaccines

Sahu told Guardian Media this was his first posting in the Caribbean and he did not want to get drawn into politics.

He said he believes the T&Ts Government should have publicly distanced itself from the editorial. Sahu also confirmed he had not spoken to Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Amery Browne on this issue of vaccines from India.

Noting most sexual predators were repeat offenders, they argued that bracelets could at least allow the police to track their whereabouts.
