Such facilities in Guwahati would benefit scores of travellers from the entire Northeast, who currently have to go to cities outside the region for these works, he said.
“Intend to follow up closely with this request in subsequent parliament sessions,” Bordoloi said.
In his letter to Jaishankar, he pointed that when many people from the northeast travel to different countries they experience numerous difficulties in getting their visa stamped and in undergoing medical tests as these services are not available in the region.
“As Guwahati is the capital of Assam and is also a central point for the northeast region, the setting up of the facilities here would aid the process of obtaining visas for the region’s population of over 45 million people,” Bordoloi wrote.
He urged the ministry to facilitate engagement with countries like UK, US, Germany, Australia and Singapore for the establishment of a medical testing facility and a visa stamping facility in Guwahati.
