He said the Police Commissioner has been advised to allow the students or others to go to the missions to get their visas and complete their relevant works.
“This is something which came up. Some of the students approached us. It has been resolved and a decision is taken,” Dr Momen told reporters after attending a programme at Foreign Service Academy.
