The US Embassy in India has informed the public about a temporary disruption in its social media communications due to the ongoing US government shutdown. As a result, the embassy’s official Twitter account will not be updated with the usual frequency, potentially delaying timely information on visa services, consular assistance, and other diplomatic matters. Citizens and stakeholders are encouraged to anticipate delays and plan their interactions with the embassy accordingly.

Key points to note include:

  • Limited updates on visa interview schedules and processing times
  • Reduced responsiveness to public inquiries via Twitter
  • Continuation of critical diplomatic services despite reduced communication
