Indian railways ad shows Delhi in PakistanNEW DELHI: Another media blunder on the part of India was identified when the Indian Railways showed Delhi located in Pakistan in its advertisement published in newspapers on Saturday. The advertisement also showed Kolkata in the Bay of Bengal. However, Eastern Railway, which released the advertisement, blacklisted the advertising agency after the goof.
Earlier, a Union Government advertisement had displayed the photograph of a former Pakistani air chief.
The latest advertisement was meant to announce the launch of a luxury tourist train by Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee. A small part of the advertisement showed the train’s route from Kolkata to Delhi.
Eastern Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Samir Goswami apologised for the mistake and said the advertising agency had been suspended. app
