Pakistan Television (PTV) has suspended two of its employees for airing an incorrect map of the country during the live transmission. During a children’s show on June 6, the incorrect map was aired, depicting Indian Occupied Kashmir as a permanent part of India instead of a disputed territory.
Soon after the incident, the state television had formed a committee to investigate the matter. In light of the committee’s findings, two PTV officials responsible for the blunder were suspended.
