Afghanistan's Embassy in India has ceased operations, citing challenges in staffing, resources, and lack of support for visa renewals. The closure comes as India does not recognize the Taliban government and awaits the United Nations' decision on recognition. The embassy denies claims of internal strife and diplomats seeking asylum, while reports suggest that the ambassador and senior diplomats have already left India and gained asylum in Europe and the United States. India will take over the embassy as a caretaker.
