quarters of Consul, Ahwaz and Vice Consul, Khoram sh&hr,,on ground
that former must be in closer toudri with Abadan and Senior^
Naval Officer. Government of India think it regrettable that
decision of this kind, which could only be taken after fullest
consultation with themselves and H .M.Government should have been
taken without prior consultation with them and regret that they
are unable to accept it 0
