আপডেট: কনস্যুলার সেবা পুরোদমে চালু

কনস্যুলার সেবা এখন পূর্ণাঙ্গভাবে পুনরায় চালু হয়েছে। তবে আজ সকালে সেবা বিঘ্নের কারণে সাময়িকভাবে কিছূটা চাপ সৃষ্টি হয়েছে। ফলে সেবা পেতে স্বাভাবিকের তুলনায় কিছুটা বেশি সময় লাগতে পারে।

এ অসুবিধার জন্য আমরা আন্তরিকভাবে দুঃখিত এবং সবার ধৈর্য ও সহযোগিতা কামনা করছি।
