LOL to all posters who said Google accepts *** as disputed
Google rectifies mistake, shows entire J&K as part of India
NEW DELHI: The search engine Google has amended its maps to show the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir as part of India.
The correction came in response to the notice issued by minister of state for communications and IT Sachin Pilot to Google Inc for showing ***************** Kashmir as part of the neighbouring country.
After Pilot noticed the lapse, the ministry wrote to the website that maps available through
www.google.com/insights showed certain parts of J&K as part of a different country. The notice said that wrongful depiction of Indian map could attract action under Sections 69A and 79 of the IT Act.
Sources said the website had corrected the maps in its memory though a few pages would take some time to upload.
It sets right what is a sensitive issue in the country. The showing of *** as part of Pakistan had attracted strong comments from various sections.
