Bangladesh Minister favours visa-on-arrival for tourists in India

Shillong, Jul 15 (UNI) Bangladesh Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister Rashed Khan Menon today said India and Bangladesh must give tourists from each other's country visa-on-arrival facility.
"Introducing visa-on-arrival at the border checkpoints will go a long way to develop tourism especially between India’s northeastern states and Bangladesh. The present practice of granting visas and the sufferings there off are not conducive to tourism expansion in these two countries," Mr Menon told the inaugural session of the NADI festival 2016 in Meghalaya.
The festival was organised by a local think tank Asian Confluence and was attended by Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla besides diplomats.
