Distortion of Indian map by B&R automation company

Distorted Indian map by B&R Automation Company
Distorted Indian map by B&R Automation Company

The Map of India displayed on the brochure does not show proper demarcation of Kashmir, but deletion of part of Kashmir. So also the islands of Andaman and Nicobar are not displayed. This is not in accordance to the Official Map of India by the Government of India.

HJS has filed complaint with Mumbai Police Commissioner for action in this regard.

Dear Sir,
thank you for the mail.
We tender our unconditional apologies for the mistake which was absolutely unintentional. This was due to internationally circulated photo image & our printer did not notice this.
We are withdrawing & destroying those brochures with immediate effect.

Our MD Mr. P V Sivaram will write separately in this regard.

We are equally proud Indians & hold our head high for our motherland. We hope you understand us.

Dear Sir,

Subject: Distortion of Indian map on your brochure.

We came across your brochure at your stall in ‘Automation 2006 ‘ stall No F-6A, Bombay Exhibition ground, NSE compound Goregaon (East) between 27th to 30th September. The Map of India displayed on the brochure does not show proper demarcation of Kashmir, but deletion of part of Kashmir. So also the islands of Andaman and Nicobar are also not displayed. This is not in accordance to the Official Map of India by the Government of India. You have by this act distorted the Indian map and presented an incorrect map .In the process you have hurt the National sentiments of India and committed a national offence. As yours is a multinational company these brochures are distributed internationally this has also resulted in a wrong representation of the Indian boundaries.

We request you to immediately withdraw these brochures and tender an apology to all Indians for hurting their National sentiments through this incorrect display of Indian map.

We look forwards to your prompt reply and response.

With regards
Spokesperson
