Glasgow restaurant to correct India map after Lovlina raises Northeast issue

Boxing Federation of India (BFI) president Ajay Singh on Sunday said a popular Indian restaurant in Glasgow has agreed to correct a map of India displayed on its premises after boxer Lovlina Borgohain pointed out that the Northeast was missing from it.Singh clarified that there was "no confrontation" with the restaurant management during the Indian team's celebratory dinner after the country finished with a record 10 boxing medals -- seven gold and three silver -- at the ongoing Commonwealth Games."There was no confrontation. It was an aberration and we pointed that out, me and Lovlina. They accepted their mistake and assured us that it will be corrected," Singh was quoted as news agency PTI.The Indian contingent had visited Mister Singh's India, The Home of Curry in Glasgow on Saturday to celebrate its record performance at the Games.The issue came to light when Lovlina, the Olympic medallist from Assam who won silver in Glasgow, noticed that the map of India printed on the restaurant's napkins and displayed outside the premises did not include the Northeast."Please don't take this the wrong way. I felt a little hurt by this. In the map of India, our North East is missing. Yes, even outside, the map that's displayed has cut off the North East. As someone from the North East, that really hurts us. That's all I wanted to say. Please keep this in mind next time. Thank you so much," Lovlina said in a video shared on social media.Mister Singh's India, The Home of Curry is a well-known Indian restaurant in Glasgow and has hosted several touring sports teams and dignitaries over the years.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
