Government website has incomplete map of India
Country's website on police wireless communication network shows a distorted map of India
New Delhi, Apr 20 : A government website, in one of its pages mapping the country's police wireless communication network, shows a distorted map of India, cutting off parts of Jammu and Kashmir that New Delhi claims are under the illegal occupation of Pakistan and China.
The map on website of the Directorate of Coordination PoliceWireless - www.dcpw.nic.in could be the copy of the CIA India Map that had earlier stirred a controversy over Indian territory.
The northern Areas of Kashmir, also called Gilgit Baltistan, and Aksai Chin are not included in the map. Gilgit-Baltistan was militarily occupied by Pakistan in 1948 and China gained control of Aksai Chin, towards east of Ladakh, in the 1962 war.
The department, under the ministry of home affairs, is responsible for establishing the police telecommunication network in the country and also maintaining coordination.
It has been entrusted with the responsibility of setting up an integrated police wireless network in the country, called POLNET, to create a direct link between all police stations for online crime and criminal information systems.
It also advises the ministry on all telecommunication matters. The department has created a network of 27 inter-state police wireless stations.
