The number of passengers travelling to India via the Benapole International Checkpost has dropped markedly after India imposed restrictions on visas. “Normally, 4,500 to 5,000 passengers travel to India daily via Benapole. Tourist visas and other categories are currently unavailable, causing significant disruptions for those traveling for leisure or business. One traveller, waiting to cross Benapole on a medical visa, said it took two to three months to obtain their visa. “If tourist visas are not resumed, the number of passengers using the checkpost could drop to zero within a month,” said Imtiaz.
