While I appreciate the PM's efforts, I hope the government also focuses on improving consular services for NRIs. Many still face challenges with basic documentation processes.

The Dammam consulate request is long overdue. Hope this visit makes it happen! NRIs contribute so much to India's economy, they deserve better facilities.
