India is preparing to fully restore visa services in Bangladesh, signalling improved bilateral ties after suspensions linked to political unrest following Sheikh Hasina’s ouster and later anti-India protests. Medical and double-entry visas have resumed, with other categories to follow.

Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh, nine patients lost their eyesight after infections from cataract surgeries at a Gorakhpur hospital, prompting a magisterial inquiry.

Separately, the Supreme Court will begin final hearings on May 5 on over 200 petitions challenging the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019.
