The Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala has announced the resumption of visa and consular services from February 5, following a two-month suspension. The services were halted on December 3, a day after the mission’s premises were breached by protesters opposing the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Dhaka.
The incident led to the suspension of three police personnel, and Bangladesh’s Assistant High Commissioner in Agartala, Arif Mahamad, was summoned to Dhaka for discussions.
In an official notice issued on Tuesday, First Secretary Md Al Amin confirmed, “All visa and consular services of the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission will resume on February 5.”
To prevent further disruptions, security measures around the mission have been significantly strengthened by the local police.
