Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy has suggested the visa system between India and Bangladesh be withdrawn so as to allow ease of movement of the citizens of both the countries.
"We want an intimate relation between the two countries. Visa system between the two countries should be abolished. I would put forward my suggestion to the ministry of external affairs and urge it to find out simplified system through negotiations between the two countries," Roy said.
He was addressing a programme organized by the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh here last night to commemorate the Independence Day of the neighbouring country.
