All Indian visa application centres in Bangladesh will remain closed until further notice, according to reports.

The decision follows the current unrest in the neighbouring country following the quota protests.

Sheikh Hasina had resigned and fled the country after the quota protests turned violent and claimed hundreds of lives.

On Wednesday, India had recalled its non-essential staff from the embassy and consulates.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
