India Reopens Dhaka Visa Centre Amid Protests; Khulna, Rajshahi IVACs Shut

  • India resumed services at its Indian Visa Application Centre (IVAC) in Dhaka after a temporary suspension due to security concerns.
  • IVAC facilities in Khulna and Rajshahi remain closed amid strong anti-India protest marches demanding the return of former PM Sheikh Hasina.
  • Protesters in Rajshahi and Khulna attempted to march towards Indian missions, leading to clashes with police.
  • India and Bangladesh have exchanged diplomatic protests over threats to missions and "incendiary" statements by Sheikh Hasina from Indian soil.
  • India-Bangladesh relations are strained following Sheikh Hasina's government collapse, her flight to India, and her death sentence for crimes against humanity.

Why It Matters: India-Bangladesh relations are strained as anti-India protests keep visa centers shut, fueled by Sheikh Hasina's case.
