Afghan students’ long wait for e-visas piles on their misery

Some have also been separated from their families that are in India
After the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan, several students from that country who have been selected for scholarships by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations have been facing an uncertain future as they continue their months-long wait for e-visas. The delay has all but extinguished their hope of securing admissions in universities in India.
The Government of India’s decision to invalidate visas issued to Afghan nationals had dealt a severe blow to many. Some of them who had retuned to Afghanistan to renew their visas have also been separated from their families that have been settled in India for years.
