The government has taken a strong stand in the case of the World Health Organization (WHO) misrepresenting the map of India on its website. Sources familiar with the matter said that New Delhi has asked the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebresus to immediately replace the map of India on the website with the new map. The letter sent by India to WHO is the third in a month. Earlier, a letter has been sent to the office of the Director-General of WHO on 3 and 30 December. It said that videos and maps, including the Coronavirus dashboard, do not reflect the true boundaries of India.
Last week, Indra Mani Pandey, India's permanent representative to the United Nations, lodged this objection in front of Tedros. Our associate English newspaper Hindustan Times has seen the letter which Indra Mani Pandey sent to Tedros on 8 January. In it, he writes, "I am writing this letter to express my deep displeasure at the misrepresentation of India's borders in the maps of various web portals of WHO. In this connection, I draw your attention to our previous messages sent to WHO which point towards similar movements. I once again request your immediate intervention from the WHO's various web portals to immediately remove the map showing the borders of India incorrectly. ''
The WHO showed Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh apart from the country on this map of India. Shaksgam Valley, spread over 5,168 square kilometers, which was illegally handed over to China by Pakistan in 1963, was shown as part of China. At the same time, the Aksai Chin area occupied by China since 1954 is shown in light blue stripes. This color is similar to that used to describe the Chinese region.
Explain that publishing wrong maps of India is an offense under Indian law, which can carry a jail term of six months and a fine. In 2016, the government proposed to extend this sentence to seven years and impose a fine of Rs 100 crore to the judges. However, this proposal, which was part of a geospatial information law proposed by the government in 2016, was not followed by the government.
At the same time, a senior official in this case says that it is quite unfortunate to use this wrong map of India shown by WHO to track Covid-19. "The Indian government will contact the WHO and its official so that the map can be changed," he said. The official said that he had confidence in the WHO chief, on which the US had taken a stand on China's coronavirus. , They will not stand in the way of fixing the wrong map.
Let us know that after pressure from the US last year, the World Health Organization agreed to send an expert team to Wuhan, China, about the origin of the coronavirus. After this, the 10-member team has been able to move to China. However, they will be able to exit their hotel only when they spend their quarantine time of two weeks. However, many countries still fear that the Chinese government may pose many obstacles in front of the expert team.
