New Delhi, 25 August 2021

As per news report of The Indian Express, the release said that previously issued visas to all Afghan nationals, who are presently not in India, stand invalidated with immediate effect. US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday the United States is on pace to finish evacuations from Afghanistan by Aug. 31, but left open the chance of the deadline being extended, saying reaching that goal is dependent on continued cooperation from the country’s new Taliban rulers. The Taliban said earlier on Tuesday that all foreign evacuations from the country must be completed by Aug. 31.
