India Resumes Travel Visas for Bangladeshi Nationals: New High Commissioner Makes Announcement

Dinesh Trivedi, the new High Commissioner of India to Bangladesh, has announced the resumption of travel visas for Bangladeshi nationals as soon as he assumed office in Dhaka on Thursday. Dinesh Trivedi, the 76-year-old leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, handed over his credentials to Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin and formally began his diplomatic work. Trivedi, who was appointed Ambassador to Bangladesh on April 27, is the first politician to hold this position. At the same time, a spokesperson for the Bangabhaban Presidential Palace said, India's new High Commissioner has handed over his credentials to the President and started his diplomatic work in Dhaka. The spokesperson said that before handing over his diplomatic papers, a detachment of the President's Guard Regiment gave Trivedi a guard of honour. Immediately after the ceremony, Trivedi made his first public appearance at the Indian Visa Centre in the capital, where he announced the resumption of travel visas. Let us tell you, these visas were given to me during the deterioration of the security situation and the Muhammad Yunus-led government in New Delhi about two years ago. I am happy to announce that normal travel has been resumed.
