Bangladesh’s interim government announced the temporary suspension of visa services at key diplomatic missions in India, including New Delhi, Kolkata and Agartala, citing security concerns as the primary reason. The move affects standard consular operations, though work and business visas remain exempt. Dhaka is also urging the United States to reverse a newly imposed visa bond requirement, a policy Bangladesh calls “unfortunate and painful” and says affects multiple countries. The tensions follow ongoing diplomatic strain between Bangladesh and India, partly tied to earlier visa restrictions and broader regional political sensitivities. (PC: The Hindu)
