The Commonwealth Games Federation has once again trapped in controversy, but this time not because of delay in preparations. This time it is because of a distorted India map that was put on its website.

On the official website www.thecgf.com the map of India shows some of the areas of Jammu and Kashmir and Gujarat as Pakistan parts. The 2010 Commonwealth Games organizers have raised the issue on Tuesday with the CGF officials.

Lalit Bhanot, the secretary of the Organising Committee said, “We have noticed it and told CGF officials about it. They have promised to revert back to us on the issue.”

He also added, “They would definitely correct it. We were told that they would talk to the people who maintain the site and get back to us.”

The official website of Commonwealth Games is owned and operated by Commonwealth Games Federation and it if responsible for overall function of Games around the world.

This grave mistake of the federation comes at the time when India is celebrating its 61st Republic Day.

Earlier the Commonwealth Games was always in controversies due to tardy preparation of infrastructure.
