The Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala, Tripura, will resume its visa and consular services on February 5, following a two-month suspension. The services were halted after a security breach on December 3, when protests erupted over a high-profile arrest in Dhaka.

As a result of the incident, three police officers were suspended, and Arif Mahamad, the Assistant High Commissioner, was summoned to Bangladesh’s capital. During the suspension period, security at the mission was significantly enhanced.

First Secretary Md Al Amin confirmed the resumption of services, emphasizing that heightened security measures will be in place to ensure the safety and smooth processing of visa applications.
