The ongoing diplomatic tensions have drastically reduced the number of visas issued to Bangladeshi nationals, with appointments plummeting from over 7,000 a day to just 500-700. This significant decline stems from a combination of political unrest and security concerns following the ouster of Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
A foreign ministry official stated, 'Granting of visas is a sovereign function. We are constantly monitoring the situation and as it normalizes, we will begin our full-fledged visa operations.' This statement highlights the uncertainty surrounding the future of visa services between the two nations amid escalating tensions.
In recent developments, diplomatic relations have soured, particularly over border management issues. Allegations regarding India's plans to construct fences along the border have led to a summoning of envoys, signifying the strained relationship between the two countries.
