Indian Railways’ Ad Shows Delhi In Pakistan

Indian Railways Authorities went red-faced on Saturday after an advertisement in almost all the leading newspapers on the day of inauguration of Maharajas’ Express from Kolkata to Nalanda showed Delhi in Pakistan.

The advertisement was published by the Eastern Railway.
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee is scheduled to flag off the Maharajas’ Express in Kolkata today.

The map showed Kolkata, Gaya in Bay of Bengal, Varanasi in Orissa, Gwalior in Maharashtra and Delhi in Pakistan.
Railway authorities, however, completely absolved themselves of responsibilities saying it was the fault of the concerned advertising agency.

Raliways has blacklisted the ad agency.
