Kolkata: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday wrote to Niti Aayog vice chairman over "wrong mapping" of the state, saying the map has depicted the territory of Bihar instead of representing West Bengal.
"I am writing with deep concern and unequivocal disapproval that in the 'summary report for the state of West Bengal' published by NITI Aayog and available on its website, the map intended to represent the state of West Bengal has depicted the territory of Bihar in its place," Banerjee wrote to NITI Aayog vice chairperson Suman Bery. She called upon Niti Aayog to issue a clarification and apology and to take immediate corrective action to rectify the document.
Banerjee wrote that such a "lapse in an official document of a premier national institution is not merely a technical error but an affront to the identity and dignity of the state of West Bengal... Such a blunder in an official publication of Niti Aayog reflects an alarming lack of diligence and respect towards the states of the Union". She also asked Niti Aayog to institute robust mechanisms to prevent such lapses in future.
