In a major goof-up, Twitter showed Jammu as part of Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir as being in China in its location-tagging service last week, Thursday
Twitter's India office said the problem has been identified and it will be resolved soon. The government on its part said the matter will be taken up with the micro-blogging site.
While posting a new tweet, Twitter gives an option to the user to tag his or her location, wherein the micro-blogging site was on Thursday found to be showing Jammu as being part of Pakistan. Besides, a user seeking to tag Jammu and Kashmir as the location was being shown the option of this place being in 'People's Republic of China'.
A large number of the users criticised Twitter for the goof-up, with some terming it being biased against India.
