I went today and was told all is in order and I can pick up <br>
tomorrow. The interventions from Markus, Shanker/MAG, and folks
here <br>
seem to have made a difference. However, I was still asked to bring
<br>
an invite letter from the government, which I had, but shouldn't
have <br>
needed. I hope more consulates will read the fax correctly,
that <br>
registration alone is sufficient.<br><br>

Thank you for your efforts, and those of the organisers and Indian<br>
Government, in this regard. I understand that a copy of the<br>
"instructions to Indian Missions Abroad" will be available on
the <br>

country website soon, which will confirm the gratis-Visa
arrangements<br>
including the status of the registration confirmation as an <br>
