India will maintain the ban on tourist visas until the situation in Corona returns to normal, said Vikram Doraiswamy, the country's high commissioner to Dhaka.

However, the medical visa is open. The High Commissioner said this while meeting a delegation of Indian Institute of Mass Communication Alumni Association, Bangladesh (IIMCAA) on Tuesday.

The delegation met him at the Indian High Commission office in the capital's Baridhara. New types of corona are emerging in several countries, including the United Kingdom.

So India is not thinking about lifting the ban on tourist visas right now. Because, now if the tourist visa is introduced, not only India, but also the countries from which the people will come, will be equally at risk.

Vaccines will be sent on the basis of preparation and preparation of Bangladesh Army. The Indian High Commission in Dhaka will coordinate the matter.

He said the vaccine could be sent in the next few weeks. The IIMCAA members are former students of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication in New Delhi.

This scholarship is usually given to two students from Bangladesh every year to study development journalism. On Tuesday, members of the delegation called for a further increase in the number of scholarships.

The IIMCAA delegation included Azizul Islam Bhuiyan, Senior Vice President of the Executive Committee, Zahid Newaz Khan, General Secretary, Angur Nahar Monty, Ranjan Sen, Nazneen Akhtar and others.

First Secretary (Information, Culture and Media) of the Indian High Commission Shaswati Arya and Second Secretary (Media) Debabrata Pal were also present on the occasion.
