Indian expatriates in Dubai and Northern Emirates will soon be able to fix appointments with consular officials through a revamped mobile app.<\/p>\n

The app is set to be unveiled on the sidelines of 67th Indian Republic Day celebrations.<\/p>\n

The Indian Consulate in Dubai had launched a mobile app named \u201cCGI Dubai<\/strong>\u201d last year during the 146th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, on October 2.<\/p>\n

At a Press conference held on Tuesday to announce this year\u2019s Republic Day celebrations, Anurag Bhushan, the Consul-General of India for Dubai and Northern Emirates, said the mission has scrapped the \u201cpassive\u201d first version and is re-launching it.<\/p>\n

It will now have facilities for taking appointments with the consulate officials for visa or passport services, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe app has been received well.but we want to make it more sophisticated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the SOS feature would remain as a highlight through which workers in distress can seek help through a free call. The call will connect any Indian in distress to the 24\u00d77 helpline of the Indian Workers Resource Centre that will address the issue.<\/p>\n

The new version will have geo-tagging facility and the beta version will be made available by the Indian Republic Day, he said.<\/p>\n
