Speaking to reporters at a briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the adviser confirmed that visa services have been suspended at Bangladeshi missions where security incidents occurred. On December 20, extremist groups vandalized the Bangladesh Visa Centre in New Delhi, followed by another attack in Siliguri on December 22. Consular and visa services remain fully halted at the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata, while only limited visa services are being provided at missions in Mumbai and Chennai. As a result, Bangladeshi visa services in India are now restricted to a narrow range of categories. On Wednesday, leaders and activists of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) staged a demonstration outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Mumbai.
