Bangladesh Mission in Agartala halts services until further notice

The Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala, Tripura announced on Tuesday said that all visa and consular services will remain suspended until further notice.

In a notice signed by First Secretary and Head of Chancery Md Al Amin, the assistant high commission announced that the suspension will come into immediate effect.

A large group of protesters of the Hindu Sangharsh Samity attacked the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh in Agartala on Monday afternoon.

BBC Bangla reported that a group of people of about 150 entered the mission, pulled down the Bangladesh flag, tore it up, and broke a few items when a delegation of the samity went inside the compound to submit a memorandum.

Bangladesh foreign ministry said, "The accounts received conclusively attest that the protesters were allowed to aggress into the premises, by breaking down the main gate of Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in a pre-planned manner."
