Chennai, Oct. 15 The US Consulate in Chennai – for long, a famous landmark on the city’s arterial Anna Salai – is likely to be relocated.

Chennai will have a new, bigger office building elsewhere and the relocation is aimed at making “visa processing more efficient and courteous,” according to Mr Andrew T. Simkin, the new US Consul General in Chennai.

Mr Simkin said it had not yet been decided where the new office would be located, and added that it would take another five years to complete.

“We are currently working on that,” he told Business Line on the sidelines of a meeting organised by the Consultative Committee of City Chambers of Commerce.

Work on a new office in Mumbai was underway and would be opened shortly, he said.
