Diplomatic tensions between Bangladesh and India have resurfaced after New Delhi summoned Bangladesh’s High Commissioner, citing deep concerns over security conditions in Bangladesh. Hours earlier, India had announced the temporary suspension of operations at its visa centre in Dhaka.

Indian diplomatic sources later confirmed that the visa centre will resume normal operations today. The developments come amid protests and announced demonstrations near the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.

Bangladesh has assured India that it is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of Indian missions and diplomats. Analysts view the recent summoning of envoys by both sides within a short span as a sign of heightened strain in bilateral relations, particularly amid political developments surrounding the upcoming national election.
