Agartala: Feb 05: Visa services have resumed in Tripura after a two-month hiatus, bringing relief to many who gathered at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala. The services were suspended due to escalating tensions between India and Bangladesh following incidents of violence in the region ¹.
The tensions began after the fall of the Hasina government in Bangladesh and the rise of a caretaker government led by Dr. Yunus. This period saw a notable increase in the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, which worsened with the arrest of Sanatan preacher Chinmoy Krishna Brahmachari. Protests in Agartala turned violent on December 3, leading the Bangladesh government to halt visa issuance and recall officials from the Assistant Commission.
The resumption of visa services is seen as a positive development, signaling a return to normalcy in the relationship between India and Bangladesh. People in Tripura are optimistic that the process will proceed smoothly, facilitating easier travel and communication between the two nations.
