Speaking at the 73rd Republic Day celebrations, Dr Deepak Mittal said: “It is a matter of pride that the Government of Qatar has allocated a plot for us to construct our own embassy building. We hope to complete a spacious embassy building, which is our home away from home in the coming years. We hope to develop it with all the facilities as our new home for every Indian here in Qatar. I look forward to your support and we can have better facilities and bigger capacity to accommodate more fellow citizens to celebrate events such as this.” Dr Mittal told Gulf Times that “we have been allotted the land at the Diplomatic Enclave in West Bay.
