Twitter Corrects Error Showing J&K In China

New Delhi: A day after Twitter got embroiled in a controversy for showing Jammu and Kashmir as part of China, the micro-blogging site rectified its geotag location on Monday.

“We became aware of this technical issue on Sunday, and understand and respect the sensitivities around it. The teams have worked swiftly to investigate and resolve the concerned geotag issue,” a Twitter spokesperson was quoted as saying by The Times of India.

National security analyst Nitin Gokhale was the first to point out that Leh’s war memorial, Hall of Fame, as part of Jammu & Kashmir, which was further shown as a part of China by Twitter.
