Pak seals its Mission Mumbai: 7,000 sq ft in Nariman Point

The 7000 sq ft office space in Mittal Chambers, Nariman Point, was the best they had come across after India expressed inability to hand over Jinnah House. Though Islamabad is looking at a plot near Santa Cruz to build a permanent consulate, it was the identification of a site for the interim that was becoming a problem.

The Pak High Commission is working hard with Singhal to seal the lease contract which will be for three years. ‘‘It is purely a commercial contract and they (Pak) are normal tenants ,’’ says Singhal. ‘‘I have nothing to do with VHP. I am a businessman and this is a commercial deal. But I do feel happy that there’s more interaction between the two countries. It’s good,’’ he said.
