Tarique Rahman's swift move: Bangladesh restores visa services for Indians, signals thaw with Delhi
Bangladesh's new Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, who assumed office on February 17 (Tuesday), after his Bangladesh Nationalist Party's (BNP) decisive election victory, has moved quickly to mend ties with India by reinstating full visa services for Indian citizens at the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi. This decision, effective from Friday (February 20), lifts a suspension imposed since December 2025 amid heightened anti-India sentiment, marking a promising first step toward normalising bilateral relations strained under the previous Muhammad Yunus interim administration.
