India to open new consulates in Boston and Los Angeles: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday announced the Indian government will open two new consulates in the US -- one in Boston, and another in Los Angeles.

"Last year, I announced the opening of a new Indian consulate in Seattle. I sought your suggestions for two additional Consulates. India has now decided to open two new consulates in Boston and Los Angeles," PM Modi said.

PM Modi made this announcement while interacting with the Indian community in New York's Nassau Coliseum which was packed with excited and cheerful-looking faces while reverberating with chants of "Modi, Modi".
