# India’s new Consul General visits Gurudwara in Dubai 2026-08-25T19:03:46+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Dr. Emmadi Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, the newly appointed Consul General of India in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, visited Guru Nanak Darbar Gurudwara in Dubai on Saturday. He was welcomed by Dr. Surender Singh Kandhari, Chairman of the Gurudwara, along with board members and management. The visit marks an early engagement by the diplomat with the Indian community in the UAE. The Gurudwara is one of the largest Sikh places of worship in the region and serves a significant number of Indian expatriates. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The visit is a standard early courtesy call for a new Consul General, but its public profile signals the importance Dubai's Indian diplomatic mission places on community outreach. Guru Nanak Darbar, opened in 2012, is among the first traditional Gurudwaras in the Middle East and is run by a board of Indian-origin trustees. The Consul General's engagement with such institutions is part of broader consular work that includes welfare of the large Indian diaspora in the UAE, which numbers over 3.5 million. The next major community event on the consular calendar is likely the upcoming Independence Day reception.
