It is very simple or basic thing to keep in mind while creating the app , especially when you say international travelers should have that app .
Hope some one will realize and update the app.
I am planning to tweet the ministry.

Good luck with that. This app is meant for domestic use, so it still doesn't work on firang numbers and stops working outside of India.

if only life were that simple....this government (& governments before it as well) is not known to do things logically....the app still doesn't work on non-india numbers & i don't think they have any plans on fixing it....

having said that, i have taken 4 international trips since september 2020 & have not been asked to show the app even once....

Whats the latest on the AS app for domestic travel? I am planning a flight out of IXC and they require the Cova Punjab app. Any recent experiences?

Many thanks!

lol! Nothing like that bulletproof checking.

I remember a time riding with a friend in his car and we were going to the mall. This was like the third time we had come to the mall in 3 days and every time they would stop the car and use a mirror under the drivers side undercarriage of the car. On the third time, my friend asked them--"do they only put bombs on the driver's side underside or do they use the passenger side too?" Even though he spoke the language perfect (as a native he knows the lingo), the guys looked confused and waived him through--so much safety and security theater nonsense--it's more important to make people feel safe than actually doing anything to provide safety.
