India Reopens Dhaka Visa Centre Amid Protests; Two Others Remain Shut

• India resumed operations at its Dhaka Visa Application Centre (IVAC) after temporary closure due to security concerns from anti-Indian protests.
• IVACs in Khulna and Rajshahi remain closed amid ongoing security concerns and protest marches demanding the return of former PM Sheikh Hasina.
• Protesters in Rajshahi and Khulna attempted to march towards Indian diplomatic missions but were blocked by police.
• India summoned Bangladesh's High Commissioner over threats, while Bangladesh summoned India's envoy over Sheikh Hasina's statements.
• India-Bangladesh relations are strained since Sheikh Hasina's government collapse on August 5, 2024; Bangladesh seeks her extradition from India.

Why It Matters: India reopens Dhaka visa centre, but tensions persist with Bangladesh over protests and Sheikh Hasina.
