February 18, 2016 19:02

External Affairs Ministry today said the goof-up by Twitter in its location-tagging service that showed Jammu as part of Pakistan and J&K as being in China will be taken up with the micro-blogging site.

"I am sure this will be taken up," Spokesperson in the MEA Vikas Swarup told reporters.

While posting a new tweet, Twitter gives an option to the user to tag his or her location, wherein the microblogging site was today 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 number of Twitter users criticised Twitter over the issue.
