Indian visa hassle

The letter has reference to the two previous letters published on 8th December and 10th December on Indian visa obstacles. Previously we could fill up Indian visa forms online directly and obtain the e-token. Of late it has become absolutely impossible to file visa applications on self basis.
Of all the countries of the world, online filling of applications for Indian visa has become most difficult, whereas the contrary should have been case. As our nearest neighbour and a dear friend with special relationship we always hope and expect that visa for India tour will be the easiest. The present situation pains as well as baffles us.
Everyday around 1400-1500 persons apply for Indian visa in Gulshan. People are forced to shell out special fees for e-token. If we multiply the number by average tk. 2000 as speed money, the amount becomes quite staggering. The reputation of High Commission of India is being tarnished by the visa hassle problem. Resentment against India among Bangladeshi visa seekers is increasing. IVAC has been appointed by High Commission of India as visa handling agent. So, the onus of solving the relation straining and vexing problem rests with the high commission authorities. We urge the High Commission of India to solve the problem immediately and mitigate the sufferings of the Bangladeshi visa seekers.
