Let us tell you that these services have been started in Dhaka, Chattogram, Rajshahi, Sylhet and Khulna. This information has come from the Indian Visa Application Center. A statement from the India Visa Application Center has also come out regarding this.

What will be the benefit?

In addition, these five centres have opened limited appointment slots for urgent cases where Bangladesh students and workers need to travel to third countries and for which they already have visa appointments with foreign embassies in India, he said.

How long will the services remain limited?

The statement further said, 'These services will remain limited until IVAC resumes its normal operations later.' Let us tell you that Bangladesh was shaken by massive protests by students against the controversial quota system in government jobs which started in mid-July and ultimately led to the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government from power on 5 August.

More than 600 people have died since mid-July. Currently, an interim government led by 84-year-old Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus is running the country
