India has indefinitely suspended visa services at the Indian Visa Application Centre (IVAC) in Chittagong, Bangladesh, effective December 21, 2025, citing security concerns following a recent incident near the Assistant High Commission of India in the port city. The move comes amid heightened tensions and unrest triggered by the death of youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi, which sparked protests and clashes. The IVAC statement said operations will remain halted until further notice, with a decision to resume only after the security situation is reviewed. No timeline has been given for reopening the centre. (PC: The Hindu)
