CGF aplogises for distorted India map

The map of India on http://www.thecgf.com showed some areas of Jammu and Kashmir and Gujarat as parts of Pakistan. Northern areas of Jamp;K Chilas,Gilgit and Skardu are depicted as part of Pakistan. Similarly,it shows some parts of western Gujarats Kutch region as belonging to Pakistan. The corrected version,uploaded within hours of a media storm,shows these areas in Indian territory. Once the mistake was noticed,the organisers of the 2010 Commonwealth Games said they had brought it to the CGFs notice. We noticed it and told CGF officials about it. They have promised to revert back to us on the issue, organising committee secretary Lalit Bhanot said.

The run up to the Commonwealth Games,scheduled to be held here from October 3 to 14,has already seen a series of controversies with CGF and Organising Committee constantly at loggerheads over the pace of preparations. Hooper said the goof-up was entirely unintentional. It was not intentional but we have rectified the matter immediately. And we certainly apologise to all concerned, Hooper said. We generally use reliable sources for the territory of the Commonwealth countries but we are going to double check all of those again, he said.
