State Bank of India in Dhaka processes the Indian Visa Applications from the Bangladeshi Passport holders. For their convenience they put one big sticker on the front cover of the Bangladeshi Passports making the Bangladesh Government's official logo as well as the map of Bangladesh hidden. It is not correct to deface or hide the official marks o the Bangladesh passports. Reportedly it is not so done with the non-Bangladeshi Passports. It will be highly appreciated if the Indian High Commission, Dhaka directs to adopt other means to process the Indian Visa applications without disfiguring the Bangladeshi Passports. We look forward to kind consideration of the above by the Indian High Commission as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh, Dhaka.
