New Delhi: Boxing Federation of India President Ajay Singh stated on Sunday that a well-known Indian eatery in Glasgow has promised the national delegation to rectify a map of India exhibited on its property after boxer Lovlina Borgohain highlighted the omission of the Northeast.

Singh emphasised that zero hostility occurred with the establishment's proprietors whilst the squad enjoyed a celebratory gathering following India's record-breaking haul of ten boxing medals—comprising seven gold and three silver—at the current 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 informed the Press Trust of India.

The Indian team visited Mister Singh's India, The Home of Curry in Glasgow on Saturday evening to mark their unprecedented success at the multi-sport event.

The controversy arose after Lovlina, an Olympic medallist from Assam who claimed a silver medal, observed that the cartographic depiction of India printed upon the venue's napkins and exhibited externally failed to include the northeastern states.

"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 stated in a video broadcast across digital platforms.

The establishment is a celebrated dining institution in Glasgow, having welcomed numerous visiting athletic squads and prominent public figures over decades of operation.
