Canada slashes Indian staff members from diplomatic missions
Babushahi Bureau
New Delhi, April 12, 2024: The Canadian government has recently reduced the number of Indian employees in its diplomatic missions throughout India, citing a lack of Canadian personnel essential to the efficient administration of in-country operations.
In order to maintain parity in diplomatic presence, India expelled 41 Canadian diplomats from the country last year. As a result, Canada closed its consulates in Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Bengaluru. The exact number of retrenched employees remains undisclosed.
