Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Wednesday said the authorities concerned will allow those to go to foreign missions in the city during lockdown considering the prior appointments including visa delivery issues.
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.
Dr Momen and State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam also spoke at the function marking the launching of Foreign Service Debating Club.
Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen was also present.
The weeklong strict countrywide lockdown begins on July 1 and Dhaka Metropolitan Police said they are prepared to arrest anyone who will go out without emergencies during the strict lockdown.
