Vice-Consulates in Persia..
Government of India’s proposal to revive
post of Vice-Consul, Bandar Abbas and to
abolish post of Vice-Consul, Kerman.
In 1933 the consular districts of Kerman and Bandar Abbas
were amalgamated for reasons of economy. A Consular Office
was established at Bandar Abbas and the Consul at Kerman was
to spend some months in the year there.
