| The Regional Passport Office (RPO) in Kolkata under the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has decided not to issue fresh India-Bangladesh Passports (IBP) after November 30, an official said today.
Existing for 41 years, the IBPs already issued would remain valid till the expiry of their duration.
"After November 15, no fresh application for the IBP would be accepted and no fresh IBP would be issued after November 30," a top Tripura government official told IANS.
"As per the Revised Travel Arrangements (RTA) between India and Bangladesh signed on January 28 this year, it has been decided by the MEA to discontinue issuance of IBP with effect from November 30," the official said, quoting a notification of the RPO.
He added that the RPO has already informed all the state governments concerned that no IBPs would be issued after November 30.
Following an India-Bangladesh agreement, the IBP was introduced as a special travel document in August 1972 to facilitate travel between the two countries.
